    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.

            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.

              Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to find in the US, period. Usually people go to trade schools.

      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.
