I've considered starting a handyman business if I truly can't find work in software again. I'd probably make more doing that than I've ever made from my actual job, the only difference would be I wouldn't have energy to focus on my startup ideas/side hustles.

There does seem to be a huge population that has: 1) no DIY skills at all, 2) absolutely no idea what anything should cost, 3) no idea what a top-tier pro job looks like.

Handymen with good customer service skills could probably do quite well?

I suspect there are many of us out there slowly but surely transforming into plumbers.
