Look at what there is a shortage of. The US will have a shortage of 400,000 welders by 2024. I'd imagine the startup cost for your own company would be pretty reasonable. There are also shortages in many other fields. I know you can become a truck driver in 7 weeks and make $100k/yr working for Walmart.

How shortage of 400000 is going to affect it. It;s huge. I would think there will be someone trying to solve the problem with labour and eliminate it like robotics in logistics.
whytehorse2021 4y ago
It's already affected. Everything is backed up. It just takes longer and longer to find and schedule a tradesman. If they do show up, they usually do a crappy job. None of this can be done with robots. It's all legislated that it has to be a licensed tradesman. I had to wait a several months to get a leaky faucet repaired in my rental house. I'm pretty sure the contractor was charging $100/hr to the property management company. And he's not even a licensed plumber, just a handyman. It would've been a minimum of $400 for a plumber to come out.

I have an idea for : Counselling Skills Niche, but it is based on my estimates that can't be easily predicted.
I forgot to add accountancy but recently finished the book that accountants suffer disproportionate hardship during recession.
The rest is either in stable or thriving fields [pharma, dental, on the job labor] or filler to show range of obtainable skills as I do not expect anyone to read full list in the link.
For years I follow mottoes: I do not know what I do not know, don't suggest answers.
Here I didn't expect anyone to do research just point out thing I would not think about.
Initial idea: Counselling [niche idea], Accountancy [once learned never changes and can do even when I'm 90], Jewelry [only because it could potentially be scalable]
Thanks

Counselling: ok if you love it, non scaleable.
Accountancy: ok if you like it. Competitive but reliable income yes.
Jewelry: very competitive, relatively small market, hard to make a name for yourself, but can be done.
You can make a go of any of these, which do you LOVE ?

all these look sustainable in the next few decades.
I would choose based on a few other criteria, this will be personal so answer this yourself:
