A 33 year old has 2 years to train/school for a new career, what do you suggest?

Only stipulation is that the career must be as lucrative as possible and must make more than $48k/year.
Computer programming is the only one I can think of that can be learned and practiced in a short enough time to get a job.

Sales, baw. Almost everything in this country, whether goods or services, has to be sold.

Seems like sales can be difficult to break into. I'd be qualified to be in education sales. Not sure how much they make, but I doubt it's that much.

This is the way to go. Welding, HVAC, instrumentation, etc. there is always a need for those fields. Only stipulation is you must be willing to work.

Registered Nurse. Do a 2 year RN program, get a job, bang some hotties, finish your BSN while working, become the boss, bang some more hotties, do Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Anesthetist program while working, make bank, bang hotter hotties. You're set.

HVAC

I think you'd be surprised, but it's not guaranteed income. Trade schools is the best bet.

This article, at least a quick scan of it, says that welding has a slow projected job growth except for those with special skills and experience.
Also, a quick google search says that welders earn on average around $38k/year. Upper 10% makes $58k. A rare few can make over $100k.

This is something I'm considering. Well, besides banging hotties since I'm happily married.
Should just be honest and give a little background: I taught high school English for six years. Tried to figure out a way to get out (MA in English and PhD for academia). Looks like I'll be headed back to the high school classroom next fall. Not going to settle for it though.
So, yeah. I'd rather clean up sick people's fluids than teach teenagers.

The medical field is the best option in my opinion. You won't break your back, although you will work hard. And the money is there from the start.

After you get your Masters (although some schools only require a BSN), you do have the option of teaching in a nursing program. With your background, this could be another option if you decide to be an RN.

My dad did instrumentation work. Good money and lots of travel. But it's not for the faint of heart because they will work your arse to death. But retired really pretty though.
