I currently fly a survey company and I am building hours towards the minimum for part 135. I have gotten use to and prefer solo flying. What are some gigs that you can make decent living. I’m a career changer from trucker to Pilot, so my expectation would be pay at least 60k.

Medevac is the closest to a "career job" you're going to get and remain single pilot. Salaries beat your 60k number by a substantial amount, and qol ranges from "acceptable" to "amazing". If I weren't such a money *****, I'd be doing it.

Pretty much any UPS or Fedex feeder job is what your looking for. Most of those companies are looking for pilots. What part of the country do you live? That will determine what companies you want to look into. The good news is that with the shortage of pilots wanting those jobs pay should be in the 70K to 80K range for a metro or beach 1900.
