If you want to stay in the technology sector...

* Technical Trainer (usually requires travel)

* Sales Engineer

* Project/Product Manager

These would assume you're reasonably good at public speaking and/or have solid interpersonal skills.

I've been in IT for 15 years and recently started learning to repair and shine leather shoes, as in my city there are only 2 places that do this and they don't speak English (Europe), so they're missing out on the expat population. I'm not sure if this will be my long-term plan, but I'm making money on the side and it's something I don't need a storefront for. Hoping to retire from full-time IT in another 5 years or so, so maybe this will be one of the ways I generate income.
