Being 31 isn't the end of the world. I've had two major career changes since I was 31. I've gone from automation specialist -> economics software consultant -> data systems support geek. So you've got plenty of time to change.

My first thoughts would be, prison service ('bout as dull as security work but regular shifts and the pay's better) or alarm systems installer (EOD experience might be useful).

One more thought, I don't know if they still do, but the police used to have civilians working as Scene of Crime Officers (SOCOs). They did a variety of evidence collection type jobs. It might be worth finding out if your local force has any opportunities in that area.
