#1 Elevator repair

Elevator repair. Guys I know doing that are clearing 120k easy and nobody even thinks about it as a career.

In the construction field we all know the elevator guys make a killing. Great field to get into does take some studying tho. They travel a lot if the area youre in doesnt have a ton of high rises tho. As far as trades go they’re one of the higher paid and less back breaking.

#2 Dirt.

Hauling, moving, and storing dirt is a fucking goldmine. My buddy gets into his tri-axel which has been loaded full of dirt, he drives to a jobsite, parks, and waits until they need his dirt. Sometimes they need it right away, and he goes and gets more dirt. Most times though, he waits until they need his dirt, or they only need a little at a time. The whole time he’s making $60 an hour with lots of overtime opportunities.

If you become the dirtman who stores and loads and sells the dirt, now you’re in business.
