Why not both? My neighbor configures HVAC for datacenters as a living. From what I've understood in our chats, there's a lot of expert system processing going on. It's only going to grow as ML/AI does. When there's gold rush, don't invest in gold, invest in pickaxes.

my father in law was an "HVAC guy" and got to know some commercial real estate owners through networking. I think he did $250k/year working when he wanted. Granted, it was very hard physical work.
