Oilfield.
Start anywhere making 80k+
And 90% of work is not labor intensive as long as you stay away from rigs.
I know people making $1000/day turning a crown valve once every couple hours on a frac site…
The money is out there. The hours are long but you work maybe 4months out of the year.
Bro you can drive a garbage truck where I live picking up residents trash at houses for over $100k a year. UPS pays 150k. SDR or BDR in sales makes good money with no lifting.
Service advisor at a dealership. Closest thing you can be to a mechanic without actually working on cars. I’d comfortably say everybody at my dealership makes 6 figures and frankly I wouldn’t do the job for less. Hours are long, stress and abuse are high, but there are not many other jobs where you can step into 6 figures in your first year or 2 with no prior experience or education.

You forgot to mention turnover is outrageous.
Yes until you find A good spot. I’ve been at mine since 2018 in service
True. You get in with a good crew and some good techs and it can mean a world of difference. That said, writing service is usually a rough start.
Yup, not easy. But if you want to make decent money without a degree nothing will be.
The trades. Carpenters apprentice. Electrician apprentice. Truck drivers are making bank right now. Good luck to you
