The last two independent/small shop HVAC guys I've used were freaking ancient. The best of the lot was 72 yrs old and only had one leg and 1.5 arms. He's still going strong but he's on the clock for sure.

Can I ask AI to tell me what they are or do I actually have to click on the link?

Gender studies degrees will fill these jobs.

I'll buy their businesses, no problem.

Most jobs will be there for the taking. Everyone nowadays are tiktokers, IG supermodels, online gamers or beauty influencers

This.
If one is young and willing to apply just a little bit of effort in the IRL world, there’s plenty of money to be made.

Another gig no one thinks about is Mobile RV Technician. My BIL went to a training school in Texas and stays busy as heck going out to campgrounds and RV parks or wherever and fixing people's shite.
He works for himself and he knows how to repair everything on his own RV.

Sounds great, but I've had to shite and shower in an RV. I expect a lot of problems related to plumbing and shite.
It sounds great though, people you're not going to see again for months at a time.

Going to hire a bunch of illegals to do the work or plan to be a one man gang?

The plan would be to hire legal guys hungry enough to understand I'm their mentor. I want them owning their own trucks later. Some will decide to sell cars, some will sell insurance, some will execute "Trades AF." Make them succeed, is my plan.

A.I. can't turn a screw. Handy folks will be in high demand going forward.

I feel very lucky in that my HVAC guy is about my age and a good friend. We use to coach little league together when our kids were young. And when he retires, probably in another 10 years or so, his son, who’s worked with him the last six or seven years, is ready to take over the business.
Which reminds me, it’s about time to give him a call for my yearly maintenance.

Most of our home services contractors are relatively young.
But they are busy as hell and seem understaffed half the time.

My dad, who worked in HVAC, was very against me going into the trades. I’d imagine that was a common thing since going to college and the white collar world was seen as the only successful path. Interesting to see trades take a rise these days.

It's not even as much this as much as people who should be going into trades are just not working.

Any job requiring manual labor will be in demand, young people mostly do not want to do manual labor anymore.

Had a dishwasher repair guy at the house the other day. Guy was in his 70s. Clock is ticking.
