I’m trying to figure out what I want to do for my second life after I retire from the city and move to our farm. My daughter is a jr in hs now and my son will be starting jr high next year which means I can also retire from my coaching duties after football season next fall. This is going to clear some time to go back to school and I’m nit sure what I want to do. If I can get 8 more years in my current job I will have logged 30 years in the same industry which is more than enough for me, my son will be graduating hs and my wife will have over 30 yrs teaching and qualify for early retirement.
My goal is to leave the city and try to find work to support me and my wife from the country. I just don’t know what the best avenue is. I’m thinking electrical or hvac, maybe plumbing. I’m just concerned with the apprenticeship hours I’ll need. There is money to be made in any of these trades where we will live. Our place is off richland chambers reservoir so lots of upscale wknd homes in the lake that always need something.
I’d like some advice from all you tradesmen out there on what you would do if you were me and it doesn’t have to be one of the trades I listed. What if really like to do is buy some heavy equipment and move dirt or other projects but I’m just very Leary about sinking that much capital after leaving my primary career.
Love to hear some thoughts
