Carpentry might work... thanks!! the rest are generally good ideas, too, but not for me as they seem a bit dangerous. I prefer low physical risk. ... I know a couple guys who were in the steel industry recently. Apparently the new hires are mostly retards who are work shy. The women and diversity also find ways to avoid work. Which makes sense - steel is apparently hard work, even for men so it would be especially difficult for women. They always told me that younger generations are lucky in that their competitors are so useless. All you have to do is show the smallest amount of competence - or just do your job - to be promoted, lol. But then, working around retards means putting yourself at risk, too.

I already have the background in homesteading and animal husbandry and general medical care. I was looking at electricial knowledge because it is physically less demanding and it's good to be able to do that for yourself.

Maybe we should look at what became useful in Russia after the collapse, as well. 🤔 They probably used stills.

If men want to make good money right now, I know there is a shortage of truck drivers, septic workers (putting in septic systems, draining them etc). Also, probably stuff like the ice roads, lobster/crab fishing.

For women, I was also looking at esthetican school because even in the collapse (like on Survivor) women want to look good and value those that can make them look good. Plus, it's obviously super useful for yourself. I'm going to do chemical peels etc this winter but honestly, I'm not great at doing hair. It's something I really need to learn. 🤓 It seems as though most women don't know how to style hair, though, so ...

I was also looking at the death industry. I think in the short to mid term, being a death doula would be helpful and financially good. As long as the boomers still have money to blow. 😋🤫
