Become a Realtor. Good money if you're good at it. I'm sitting in a shitty mandatory CE class right now.

I always enjoy these threads. I've been in the same field for close to 10 years, so it's nice to think about changing things up.

I went to school for 3 days, studied my arse off for a test that took 2 times to pass. Started selling health insurance in 2002, best job ever. I do whatever I or my wife want (fishing, travel, football etc), with no worries.

You opposed to working at a plant?
You can go to trade school and get an associates in Process Technology (PTEC) and go into operations at a plant.
You will eat good food, with your feed propped up on the desk, all the while streaming the best movies for you and your fellow operators to watch. With your normal shift rotation and a few extra overtime hours, you will be low six figures (when you reach top out pay, which is usually in 3-4 years).

I didn't know anything about the railroad when I got hired. Went through about 6 months of training between in class room and on the job and was released on my own..been making over 70k every year. I was 29 when hired but there were much older individuals than myself that were hired at the same time.

Nurse Anesthetist program while working
Yeah, you're not working during CRNA school. Most programs require the student to be unemployed while in school.

I'd be qualified to be in education sales
Sales is sales...only thing that changes is the product you're selling.
If you have the outgoing personality needed to be good in sales, then teaching you about different products/services to sell isn't difficult.

there is a serious shortage of set designers for the film industry especially in Louisiana. The industry is back on the rise here and anyone with drafting/3d modeling experience is in high demand.

Something else in the STEM field
STEM has done an amazing job with marketing, but not every STEM field is experiencing shortages:
Bureau of Labor Statistics
The Atlantic
Any stable job in a STEM field is going to require a lot more than two years of education. Due to globalization, competition is much tighter than people realize. If you have a passion for a STEM field and the financial resources to study for multiple years, I would definitely go for it. However, I've seen literally hundreds of students earn degrees in various STEM fields and end up in completely different careers.
My advice to the OP is to leverage your prior experience by focusing on a field that will see your PhD and work experience as an asset, not as a completely divorced part of your life.
