I'm keeping an eye out for options myself, about where there might be opportunities for a career "pivot".  I think I have about 3-ish years left before I'm gone.

I think that one area of opportunity might be for auto service, since cars are half-computer anymore, and troubleshooting involves following algorithms and whatnot, skills that used to be very much lacking among past generations of mechanics.

Obviously things in the medical field will continue to stay around.  I've looked at getting trained as an MRI technicial, or things along those lines, and the few places that offer the training are highly competitive and would laugh someone my age out the door.

Maybe that's why they're moving here. Mr. Plumb plans to solve the problem. Good luck, buddy.

.. Start with telling women to get married young and not go into retarded amounts of debt. These fake beard wearing/muh shotgun wielding dad types are the worst.

I understand the college/no job thing applies to men too, but go to a 2 year school and get something under your belt.. For crying out loud, how is this BS university stuff not getting through the heads of the masses.

Some of the 4-year degrees are nonsense, but there are other fields that you can't get into if you don't have one.  Not many, but there are some.  I have three daughters going into Nursing, and two are doing the 4-year thing, but then ... they also got scholarships, live at home ... and it's actually rather cheap, where one of them will have no debt when she's done, the other just a little bit, nothing stupid like that link.  I have another who's doing the certificate route without the 4-year program.  1 year to LPN, making $70K per years, and then another 1.5 years to RN, making $100K per year.  2 years to 6 figures.  I found that BSNs vs. RNs only make about $2,000 - $3,000 more than straight RNs, and the difference is a bunch of garbage core curriculum.  After 3 years, just $2,000 per year less than the 4-year ones, and ... not only zero debt, but since she could work at $70K per year after a single year, she's got a significant amount of money all put away.
