Anything in the trades especially HVAC and electricians and linemen.

Schooling is a quicker route but you can just get a job as a helper

Was gonna say this. City of Seattle pays electrical apprentices $50+/hour as a first year apprentices, puts you through school, employs you full time, and then you have a job when you're done.

MRI techs make good money, and the school is not long but it’s hard. You either have to get a two-year radiology tech degree then get certified, or find a more rare MRI-only degree (which I’ve found and am pursuing).

Oil Fields, some trades. Coal mining. Not as much school but you need to be able to work like a rented mule.

Sales. Climb management ladder from entry level jobs in service/restaurant industry into corporate level. Trade jobs (plumber, contractor , electrician).

I did option 2 and earned $150k base + $50k bonus based on hitting KPIs , which I did.

Working in TV/Film. Almost all on the job 'training'. Work isn't regular but if you're good at it and people like you you can earn a very good wage.

It’s difficult to answer this, because AI will replace most white collar jobs that are below senior manager level over the next few years. Blue collar isn’t immune, but it has less exposure compared to white collar.

[u/wisemonkey101]

Trades. Election, plumber, construction. Also AI proof.
