The wind turbine industry is highly slept on, the trade school is 2 months long, it cost 16k and you make 100k your first year as a travel tech, yes it’s a travel job and it pays amazing.
I love how everyone thinks they can tend bar but it’s getting harder and harder to find people that HUSTLE.
i work at a civil engineering/architectural design firm. wide variety of positions. i got hired with 0 years of experience. we can’t hire fast enough. appears to be the same going on for other firms.
What are your IT specialties? I make just under $60k per year doing entry level helpdesk for educational IT SaaS. I could make an additional $10k more per year specializing in high service demand campuses. Up to $100k if I wanted to take escalation calls for other campuses and “sell” additional services based on their needs.
I was in IT, then I was in logistics, then I went into finance, all making pennies on the dollar. Just started commercial construction and I’m hoping to work on a oil rig in a few years. Blue collar type stuff. Wish me luck.
I work HVAV as a technician, my first year I made 57k, second year 72k, third year 81k, 4th year 98k, I’m now in my 5th year of it. I have a high school diploma.
Constriction forever
HAHAHAHA. I love seeing the downfall of white collar jobs that pay triple figure salaries for answering emails and doing 10-15 hours of actual work a week. TIME TO LEARN A SKILL PEOPLE.
At least until Republicans take over the country again, the federal government is always both hiring and paying pretty well. Not as well as their private industry counterparts, but you also do not get fired for no reason after 6 months!
Building trades
Healthcare, hospitality, physical labor jobs
Man look I’ll tell you like I tell everyone who wants to make money but don’t have an idea how. GET YOUR CDL. I work in the film industry and make amazing money. When on a show/movie I wake $42 an hour at 12 hours a day everything after 8 OT and after 10 being Double. Problem is, film is an up and down gig, some years I work 12 months and do 3-4 shows/movies some years I may do a 1 there is no i between. In order to supplement my income I went and got my CDL and started to hot shot in between shows. One thing that will always be around and there will never be enough of is Transportation because a Robot can’t drive to a load, strap/chain it, then deliver it. They need people for that. Get your CDL, tough the road out for a while you can even stay local and be home every single day until you find something you really want to do and are passionate about.

Mental health, peer counseling, case management
Maintenance. The less people that want to or are capable of performing the job the more it pays. Everyone wants a job in an air conditioned building behind a computer. Nobody wants to swing a hammer in the sun when it’s 100+ degrees outside. I have no formal education and make ~37$ hourly as an equipment technician.
Trade Jobs. You could easily be making 45k in a year or so. Currently in my state most journeyman workers make well above $30/hr depending on the field, with $50+ on some locations and $74/hr for higher positions on the bigger $$ areas.
I should add these are specifically cash on check union numbers, not including the typical $50+/hr in benefits. Most non-union jobs here pay significantly less, sometimes $10+/hr under the union rate. Before I switched careers, I was offered $19/hr with 6 years of experience in industrial painting. The going union rate in the area was $28-$30 IIRC.
You can always go into accounting. You can easily make $50k-$80k easily. However, If you want high six figure in accounting, you would need a cpa. My advice is to check out IT roles. I’m a data analyst making $170k/year and I love my job!
I hear you and agree. I have almost 20 years experience and they all want to pay $12-$15/hour. Yeah, no. Rent here is $1,200+ on average for a 1 BR. You have to make 3X that to qualify. I’d need at least $22/hour to qualify for rent. This is unsustainable bullshit and needs to be changed desperately. Either pay has to go up significantly or rent has to come down significantly or both. Doing neither will just lead to more and more of us becoming homeless.
Biggest industries right now are Accounting, Nursing, and blue collar Aerospace positions.
Tech is always hiring a trickle of people. For various roles.
Healthcare is hiring like crazy. If you are a nurse, physician, surgeon, physician assistant, pharmacist, CRNA, CNA, CAA, AA, etc., you will find a job no matter where in the US.
Currently a CRNA making nearly 300k and my hospital is hiring like crazy for more CRNAs and new grad RNs
Lots of medical and hospitality jobs currently. IT got oversaturated and there were/are still plenty of young people getting degrees.
The same thing happened 20 years ago with business degrees. The finance sector was booming and everyone got business degrees in the 90’s. 2008 hits and boom, your degree is worthless.
When I was laid off, I was getting those $17-20/hr jobs sent to me by recruiters even through I had 25 years of experience across a ton of systems and industries.
It took 3 years to finally get an almost-decent IT position and it’s not enough. I need better.
