Looking to change careers to the highest income profession possible. Only requirement is that it requires no more than 4 years of education and its not oversaturated.
I'm considering electrician. I would gladly get into a rare trade like elevator mechanic but its impossible to get into. Bachelors degrees seem pretty much useless at this point because good trades jobs are paying $100k without the student debt.

Electrician is good. Plumbers get paid well also. Any trades. HVAC, mechanics that aren't the crackheads that just change oil, etc.
Go into it with the mindset of learning the skills to start your own business. If you're being paid 30/hr to work for someone then your work is worth at least 60 otherwise the company couldn't stay in business. If you aren't at least doubling your investment then you can't afford to stay in business.
Live below your means. Eat well. Don't splurge. And for the love of God don't go buy a new mazda rx8 on a payment plan as soon as you start making money. That used ford ranger or Chevy S10 for $3000 will work just fine. Real estate is another beast entirely. Cars are a money pit.
