What line of work are you in? I don’t do too bad, but I want better for my 10 year old son and with college getting more and expensive and many degrees almost worthless in the real world, looking at all options to help guide him for future success.
I can tell you that highly skilled welders are making up to $100/hour at those refineries in the Beaumont, TX area.
I am in construction. I make most of my money in roofing.
Really it can be any job. You just have to perfect a skill. Most people dont know how to work anymore. That is why 20% of the people make 80% of the money.
Every time I go to work I ask myself is there a better way to do this. So now I make more than most people. Another thing I do is eliminate all those tasks that dont make $100 a hour. I hire those jobs out.
I have been doing this for 25 years and only need to work a few days a month if I want. But it only took about 3 months to get really good at it.

Get into virtually any skilled trade. The more complex the skillset needed, the more money to be made. You can practically write your own ticket. Companies/Unions are begging for people. Depending on the company, they may also train you on the job. It also takes commitment, hard work and dedication. You will then have lifelong skills that no one can take away from you and you will always be able to market yourself with.
