But for the least amount of work/highest income, it’s very hard to beat a major airline pilot job.
Yeah I live in a very nice neighborhood (several pilot neighbors) but plumbing service is easy... my plumber lives down the street. A sharp guy can make a killing in the trades, obviously you have to own the business and have at least a couple folks working for you. Especially nowadays, since many millenials just want to goof off on their phones while sucking lattes in mom's basement.
