Every contractor I know is desperately seeking truck drivers, equipment operators, and laborers. Most positions pay $20+ to start.

Unless it has changed, diabetes isn't a disqualifier for a CDL. There is a physical required, but I know diabetics who drive commercially.

Sherwin Williams. No matter the economy, the world needs paint.

Truck driving would be a good job. I have had the same trade since I graduated high school. Maybe you could be a plumber.

Learn to fly drones.

Job security, no matter who’s in the White House.

I’m retiring in September and am also trying to figure out what I want to do next.

My younger son is in high school and often says he doesn’t have any idea what he wants to do. I’m 47 and still don’t know! I tell him just to try something that is available and see how you like it. If you don’t, try again. Life is too short to work a job you hate for very long.

Hanco is right but I'd add plumbing and electrician high on the list. The thing is the left has undermined the whole country with pc nonsense and getting these people placed in management, bhr, and admin. They are the ones promoting micromanagement, team player horsesh*t and all the other bad things in the work place that minimizes the importance of having quality skilled help and technicians to do the work. They are the ass clowns who hire unskilled incompetents to fill quotas for race ,sex, binary perversions then expect the their good help to train the worthless fugs and or pick up their slack and making sure the job is done. A skilled tradesmen can quickly sort out the worthless tell the boss to get rid of them or stick it up his ass or you'll go work for yourself or a competitor. Damn few people can make that stick and work today but right at the top of the list are plumbers and electricians they are the people whose ability and results are damned hard to find today and getting more scarce by the minute. Being a self starter, independent, skilled, in these fields will never find you unemployed or having to put up with today's management HORSESH*T. MY 2 CTS WORTH. Mb

Definitely agree with this. You'd make damn good money as well.

I do like to work with my hands and create things...

Stop by a building site and ask if they are hiring.

It seems to be primarily regional on that. Here in my area, average welder pay is 19 an hour.

i got a free 6 months use of randstadt when i got laid off in march. i went into it with an open mind. when i talked to the career counselor i could tell they were reading off a script. they'll send you links out the ass to things that you could easily find yourself. if i would have paid for this service, i would have been dissatisfied. it was essentially useless except they did help me make a new resume for my current career.

heres their schpiel

what are your strengths
what are your weaknesses
if you could have any job, what would it be?

ok, now go get 'em.

Networking with folks can get you further than a resume.

I hope you find something you like. I don’t know if I’ve liked my trade all that much, but it’s been good to me.

Thanks hanco. Not much that's more energy sapping than going somewhere you hate for 5 days of your week

Nepotism is always awesome.

Every trade has a bad side. If it was easy, everybody would do it.

Become a Hooker MJ, I always wanted to be a hooker.

Why don't you try becoming an independent Insurance agent? Your rules your sales.

Yeah but it would take huge money and companies aren't going to sign on with just any agency. They want established and track records of sales in the hundreds of thousands.

Learn to trade.... commodities, stocks etc.... buy low sell high.... much more opportunity than any job
