What would you do if you had to start over?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What about a podiatrist that also does pest control? That could be an interesting combo. Use the knowledge of killing maggots into another career. DPM/Pest control dual degree
Podiatry isn’t that bad. Just destress and look for another job. Message me the area where you want to practice and I can send you leads on good jobs.
 
I can honestly say I'd never do hard labor.
There is a reason it pays good... forget that noise though.

I'm not young, not old... but I see waaaaaay too many people with sad issues.
It might be a bad back, major intra-artic fractures, crippling arthritis, hearing loss, MVA, sports injury or even just fall in the home, early dementia, other trauma or degenerative conditions at a fairly young age. Some even have tons of $$ but are too wheelchair bound or painful to enjoy travel - or even the gym or trails. It's sad.

That working oil rigs, scaffolds and ladders, driving at night, heavy equipment, etc stuff is not worth any price (to me).
You can always make money in many ways... but you only get one brain, spine, set of knees, etc.
About 1 in 5 people retires not because they want to or enough $$$... but because of disability.
And true, it's a fact of life that your mind or your body will fail at some point, but do jobs that tend to have the body fail early? Nope.
