I work in IT and would not recommend it. It might be easy to get a help desk or desktop support role but going up beyond that is not easy. I still work support despite being in the industry for a decade.

Right, but hustlers gon' hustle. Some dudes get bachelor's degrees and spend their 40+ year career in a cubicle. Others get that degree and become CEO. Whether it's a degree or a trade, hustlers are going to rise to the top regardless.

Everyone saying learn a trade and start a business is the equivalent of people saying learn to code then develop an app.
If it was easy everyone would do it

Bc nurses get paid by the hour and in order to make that kinda money he’s claiming he made, there’s a lot of overtime
There sure is, I never claimed there wasn’t.
Could have picked up that context clue from my comment about making the same as an NP.
Guy asked for good fields, and nursing is one of them.

My comment wasn’t a poke at you at all
I thought that was obvious
That Lunchbox fig is always looking to start an argument and derail a thread.

It's not THAT hard. Just depends on how hard you want to work, the work quality, and your risk tolerance. I have another friend who was bored with his job, so he went to learn how to be a plumber. He started doing plumbing as a side hustle, but was soon making more per hour plumbing than at his regular job. His company was cutting costs and offered to let him keep his health insurance if he'd go to part-time. He jumped at it.
Now he works 4 hours in the morning at his old job, then does plumbing in the afternoon/evenings. It's just him, a Chevy Silverado with a big tool box, and a cell phone. He IS the business. He doesn't want to manage some massive enterprise like my other friend, but he's probably knocking down $150K just on the plumbing.

Locksmith. We had a jammed up lock at work. Took a week to get an appointment and the guy charged $225 for 15 minutes' work.

A single dude with a truck who does plumbing on the side commands 100/hr in labor?
Sheesh

Making 150k as a one man operation just doing plumbing part time? No way.
You need to be able to do decent sized jobs to make good money in the plumbing business.

I used to do one tiny function at a medium sized company. A function which was largely automated. Sales were booked, taxes calculated by a macro in excel, data cleaned and formatted by a macro in excel, formulas in place, etc.
Let's just talk indirect tax accounting, not income tax. Rates change all of the time, statutes change, IT changes have to be made, to reflect statutory changes. Returns, filed monthly, have to reflect these changes. Depending on the industry, "sales tax" is not simple. Look at your cellphone bill and all of the communication taxes. These aren't generally addressed by most sales tax rate/matrix providers. It can be a very manual process and AI won't come close to replacing us (tax) bean counters. When you deal with global companies, transaction tax changes are complex and you have to implement, quickly.

oh hell yes. Literally no one wants to sell cars anymore. You can literally walk onto any car lot and name your own salary and benefit package. My buddies cousin's owns a few used car dealships and clears 2mil a year and barely steps into an office. Literally do it bro its a fricking goldmine.

By the year 2035 we should have more people in the US over the age of 65 than under the age of 18. This will be the first time in the nations history this happens.
The model for healthcare delivery will shift from brick and mortar offices and facilities and more into the patients home...it has to, there is just no way to accommodate the needed patient care any other way.
Healthcare administration, healthcare delivery and any business in supporting both of those fields will proper (IT, transportation, off-site call canters, etc.)

I was taught when I was younger (and wish I would have been taught earlier than I was) that I it was key to put myself into a field and career that as I more closer and closer tor retirement to be paid more for what I knew than what I did.
While lucrative, trades and entrepreneurship are often demanding and very much a "get what you give" career paths that are hard to slow down and pull away. Some people love it...I think I would drive myself into the ground.
