Profitable non-stem jobs?

[survivorParticipant 610]

Evening gents,

For the purpose of full-disclosure I am employed and debt free and a productive member of society as a college instructor. I teach English. It’s very clear that a number of men here are in stem such as in computers, programming, engineering, and what not. I often have male students who come to me and confess that they have no clue what to do or be. I can tell them which jobs pay the most, but not all guys are motivated or into STEM-related fields though they are, unarguably, important as well as high-paying and prestigious. So I just wanted to throw this out and see what you gents might have to say: What are careers that are profitable outside of something such as programming or petroleum engineering and other stem fields?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Well, this one is difficult because not all of them have the same interest, level of intelligence, type of intelligence or background.

However here’s my 50-cents:
1. Make a list of (at least 25) professions you like and can see yourself doing for the rest of your life (cliche i know, but not so fast, the number 25 is important as well, because it forces your brain to work harder, try it)
2. Pick top 3 professions from that list which other people will pay you good money for.
3. Based on your own background, pick one of the three that is the easiest one for you to start working on right now.

Now that’s only the first step if you want to be able to survive in the society on your own. As we all know a job is just that, a J.O.B. (just over broke) or two paychecks aways from being homeless, so the next step is to get financially independent which surprisingly doesn’t have anything to do with how much money you have.

He who can solve electrical problems in automobiles — or, better yet, big rig trucks — is worth his weight in gold!

A qualified mechanic on same (without excessive electrical expertise) makes more money than 99% of white collar workers at any major STEM company. As an added bonus, he goes home on time every night, or he is paid for his overtime.

With overtime included, a janitor makes enough to cause degreed engineers and scientists to grumble with envy.

Those men who repair highways, the big rig drivers who haul along the highways, those who repair the wires on the tops of phone poles alongside highways, firemen, policemen, all of these make decent money. Many, if not most, make white collar STEM money.

There is a website devoted to non-degreed careers. It’s out there, and a web search will find it. {I’d do it for you, but I’m in a lazy mood. -RD}

Edit: Men who can do things, things that cannot be outsourced to a foreign land, will always be in demand. They can be sure of making a decent living; not a Hollywood mansion living, but enough to prosper nonetheless.

I know of young men who worked themselves through college detailing cars, running errands for lazy housewives, mowing lawns for same, and stocking shelves on the graveyard shift at the local supermarket. They got by, and some made their part time job into a career.

Edit #2: I left out general handyman from the above. This is a man who can fix holes in drywall one day, and make a toilet work the next. He will always be busy, as long as he has a reputation for showing up on time and doing the work well. (I know someone who has her furnace filters replaced by a professional handyman. She pays him $80 bucks a pop. She isn’t lazy: Her health forbids her from climbing ladders, so she has to hire Mr. Handyman.)

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Billionaires yachts need captains (USCG Master’s rating or equivalent), crews, and waitstaff. So do their mansions, with some title changes of course.
