The trades. Trades are desperate for good help willing to learn. electricians, plumbers, carpenters, pool builders, HVAC… the trades are in need of good help. It usually pays better than average too.
Someone once told me to get into electrician roles you should start young. Sad bc I would totally love to leave IT for good & study to become an electrician, but apparently I’m “too old” to start 🤷🏼♀️
It’s hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I’ve heard it’s because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they’d rather train a teenager.

You would recommend trades as a second/side job? Seems like it’d be a bit taxing physically and not flexible on scheduling – I could be wrong.

Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to find in the US, period. Usually people go to trade schools.
That’s interesting! Yes, in the USA, I guess it’s early twenties to start an apprenticeship program.
