Nobody needs "a job". Just a way to make money. It took me 50 years to figure out that I was way better off working for myself. Don't wait that long. Use my experience and work for yourself. People are desperate for plumbers, electricians, kitchen fitters, etc. Those trades aren't difficult to learn but you might have to move to a state where the regulations for the self-employed are logical and manageable.

I was lucky. At that time, I lived in the UK where regulations were minimal.
