Industrial maintenance/mechanic. There’s such an insane shortage of it right now and the pay has gone up a lot in the last few years. If you’re good, you can do a little if every trade incase you want to take it in a different direction later. Same goes for any of the other trades, if you can do electrical or mechanical you can get into industrial. Not glamorous but you can learn on the job and make a solid living. Seems every plant in my state is hiring and paying well.
Yup, I was interested in the millwright union until I realized the travel commitments. The money would be nice but I wanna be home with the wife at night. Still a great route for someone who’s mechanical and doesn’t want to work on cars or trucks.
