Wetland delineation work.
Out in the elements but like survey crews, you make good $$ because young kids are too damn lazy.

Construction Management, be a feild superintendent. Construction companies need surveyors and people who know how to build projects according plans and specifications. Most people who are smart enough to be able to do this don't wnat to work outside which is why you can get in without a degree.
To be honest, you could start out making 60k with no degree or experience and work your way up to double that with bonus once you know what you are doing. College doesn't teach you what you need to know, field experience and on the job training is the only avenue.
Not trying to solicit in the OT but if you are interested in working on heavy civil construction projects within a 2 hour drive from BR, you can email me your contact info and we can talk more. My email is my user name at yahoo dot com.

I'm a geologist. The only time they spend outdoors is on the golf course on Saturdays. You do spend time outdoors while in college. But not so much for an online degree.

Look into a “practical” degree or certificate program in business management, entrepreneurship, or something like that. Use that knowledge to scale your existing business where you have multiple crews working for you. You then get to check on their work and go quite new business. You don’t necessarily want to try and compete with the huge companies- you want to find a niche between what you have now and the big ones. Large enough to make you money, have some redundancy/backup, etc and small enough that your customers still feel like they are getting personal service.
