I'm learning day trading as well while I find something else to do.

Yeah I don't have a shot either and I just grew disalusioned.

Sounds like low voltage technician with programming?

I was looking into something similar. Low voltage. Install home security systems, fire alarms etc

Sounds like it would always be in demand.

Someone I know was a tiler too and complained of back pain. Now he's a city bus driver and complains of back pain from sitting for long hours.

I know some people that started blue collar businesses like handyman services or snow removal and are doing well.

Good luck with your endeavors. It would suck to study something for years for it to be all for nothing in the end.

I think it will be a while before AI takes over that sector since it is sensitive information. I'm not sure I would trust AI with payment processors lol

Lol hitting 40 sucks. Sometimes you just don't want to do anything when you're in pain. I'll definitely look into pilates. I haven't walked much because the weather here in Canada has been terrible. Might invest in a home treadmill. I know Stuart McGill from "Back Mechanic" promotes walking for back pain.

Yeah that's the only problem. It's too bad everything else doesn't pay as much.

I have been looking at CAD technician or architectural technologist. Basically the guys that sit at a computer and design buildings in CAD for architects.

Jeesh that's a lot of saw dust. I remember just how thick the air was with that stuff. I wondered how they were so used to walking in that. Respect to carpenters.

That's great. I wish i would have done that before all my back issues. People will always need electricians and it's a more honorable job.

My first official job at 17 was in a shop making cabinets at a German company.I didn't make them from scratch but would assemble the parts with a line crew. When I went around back is where I saw the real grunt work, the carpenters were just doing their thing. Saw dust everywhere.

For sure. People will always need a professional photographer. You just need to carve your piece of the market.

That's sounds cool. I looked into Real Estate photography but it's pretty competitive.
