Handyman or industrial sales.
Handyman is actually the best, IMO. People have a lot of disposable income and zero capability IME. Simple jobs are impossible to get done. Replace a door, replace 1 piece of siding, fix a leaky door, rekey locks, finish a homeowners patio project, change out damaged vents, basic appliance repair, etc. Simple things that nobody knows how to do. Get on next door for your area. It is literally $100 here, $100 there....people need help.
Industrial Sales - I mean selling for a part maker or toolmaker. In most sales jobs, the pressure to sell more is unbearable. When you are selling to OEM’s, you still have to sell, but the pressure is less because there is less opportunity to actually sell. You still often have access to corporate box seats, nice cars(some car allowance), entertainment budget, and the opportunity to make a lot of money because companies see your ability to close the deal more linked to their profit than the actual product you are selling!
Industrial Maintenance or Fabrication = This one is my favorite....with a few years of tech school....electrical, PLC programming and robot programming, get 5-10 years experience with an oem, then write your own paycheck working for a big name contractor on installs and repair jobs. Be aware, the stress while gaining experience can be high as you are often the person making stopped equipment run again....be ok answering...”why so long?” Without taking it personally!.
