Probably an escort

too much competition

Learn to weld code

If you're going to go the electrician route you might want to get some sort of instrumentation degree

Otherwise try to find a company with a good apprenticeship program

To make money and get ahead in that field it may require some travel

There isn't much money in residential so you need to look at major commercial or industrial firms

Only Fans if you have the goods.

these were the routes Im planning to take. Travel isn’t a issue

Well after reading your post on pelicans talk.. Definitely not a GM

Locksmith

Underwater welding

Data Center technician knowing how to terminate Cat6 and splice fiber, and some hands on server setup and troubleshooting. Two years in the field with a good company and a BICSI cert or two, you'll never be unemployed.


ETA- pay is based on your market. San Jose or NOVA will pay more than Dallas or ATL, but your cost of living also takes a big hit in those areas.

If you are willing to travel, pay can be even more.

Working in-house at a data center will pay less but is a better lifestyle if you want a set schedule. Working for a contractor you will command more, but your hours will be wonky with lots of afterhours and/or overtime. Most job tracks start as working for a contractor until you've built up a nice resume then you go in-house somewhere for the cushier albeit not as high paying job. Or go out and get your own license and your own crews and work with previous contacts as overflow and subcontract work, don't burn bridges or steal customers though. That will end you pretty quickly.
