The skill sets you have will allow you to do well in almost any field. Being sick of the public will hold you back in most as well. If the burnout is temporary, then maybe a year or two on a construction crew or in a truck will help. At 40, you still have a long time ahead, so think long term as well. A skilled trade might be great but by 55 you’ll want to be supervising instead of doing the heavy lifting. Good luck with your search. BTW, I’d rather shovel manure than work in the insurance industry, but that’s just me.
