My one neighbor is a plumber, the other has a scaffolding operation. Both live very comfortably from what I can tell. An electrician probably does the least amount of back-breaking work, so that’s also something I’m considering.
I would like to have my own company and be able to fly for fun. Maybe there is a way I can still fly at the airlines while also doing this work at the same time? I still think I’m lousy as an airline pilot.
