Give some thought to the 40's thru the 60's. Some of the things listed may get hard with age. I watch these young guys take up warehouse work, carpet laying, roofing, long haul trucking... And cringe. When a family comes along, being away sucks. But many get stuck, with bills that won't let them choose other jobs. Other jobs destroy your body (so many welding recommendations, really want to do that to a kid with options?).
Aviation in general. Nephew just graduated PIA. Avaition mechanics are needed, And well compensated. He was offered $50k to start, and that was leaving school before graduated or got his license.
