Is barbering a lucrative career? Or electrician apprenticeship?

I quit my job as a support worker making £16k a year. I need to get another job to pay off debt.

you can make good money being a barber but you have to be in a city/urban area.

You’ll make way more being an electrician. Especially if you’re in a large city

I'm not sure how much barbers make but electricians can make a killing, plus it's relatively easy work. To the point that electricians are known to be the fattest trade.

Only in a union.
Union = starts at 20ish caps at 45ish plus benefits

Non-union =starts at like 13 or 14 an hr caps at like 25-30 an hr. No benefits guaranteed

A top tier stylist who is constantly booked with clients can easily pull in 6 figures a year. If your demand is high enough, you can charge whatever you like. $50 (not including tip) for a men’s haircut is not uncommon for a very skilled stylist.
