I don't know any sparks that are on £100k.
Only electricians i have ever heard on that sort of money were in the wild west of Iraq after the invasion but you ran risk of getting blown up, or your head hacked off. so was a judgement call on the rewards verses the risks! they were on couple of grand a week tax free.The reality is that extremely few people are on £100 k before tax
How much do you think we actually earn? Is your college filling your head with rubbish that we are rich? To make good money you need to be willing to put the time in and work hard at it but don't be expecting 100k by the time your 40 unless you catch a break. You could always retrain as a GP they make that sort of cash
Control & Instrumentation is what you need to be looking into.

If you are interetsed in going down railway line ( Pun intended ) then @essex is your man to ask for advice.
And as above make sure you keep your expectations realistic.
I think your goals unless you run a contracting firm with lots of people doing work for you are a bit optimistic.
In the future the stuff thats currently specialised will become the norm. Bit like computers in the 90s.
Any half sensible person can now fix one etc.. with AI developing. The skills will be your bog standard spark. Anything to grand or with danger money will be automated.
In china they got a robot / machine that can install pylons and terminate cables!! Imagine that here.. might make the dno more efficient

Pretty much what's happening, one of my teachers say that just doing house rewires you could earn 4k a week and that you could earn more in other specialties.
If this guy is teaching you the skills to earn 4k a week (£200,000 pa..) then how much must he be on!? £8k a week!?
If you suspect he isn't on that sort of money himself then there are only two possibilities:
1) He has no idea what he's talking about.
2) He does know people that earn £4k a week but he isn't good enough to do the same, so instead he's going to.. erm... teach you to be good enough to earn it??
