I have tried teaching in the past, but it isn't my strong suit. I enjoy manual labor, but I'm not sure I could do it full-time and know myself well-enough that I couldn't manage various teams, etc. to work my salary closer to what I have now. I'm not very outgoing. Plumbing would be interesting, and I've done some in the past, but doubt it would make enough, I'm not that handy, and managing the team and business would be tough. I like the idea of being a writer, but I don't write much before giving up for months and then starting on something new months later.
- jrn 13y agoConsider pipefitting in oil and gas, similar to plumbing better wages.
- schrodingersCat 13y agoNice. This is a great suggestion and timely. I hear that gas pipefitters in the Australian outback make ~200K a year if you're willing to travel...
- jrn 13y agoNorthern bc, or ab. 40+$ hour plus 150 a day loa.
- 404error 13y agoWhat about sales?
- bittired 13y agoGood suggestion for some, but those that know me know I would give away the farm and would be a poor salesman. I'm also not outgoing and don't enjoy seeing people and relationships as a means to an end.
- 404error 13y agoI'm with you on this, it was just a suggestion. I would probably walk in somewhere to sell something and walk out having been sold something else. :-) Good luck and I hope whatever it is you end up doing you enjoy, I am in a similar situation.
