So, I’m looking for a career change since I’m probably going to move to a city of approx 200K people. What’s something that everyone needs either it’s simple or more complex?

Not interested in funeral services 😛

    I don’t know if he’s making good money or anything but in my town of around 100k there is one guy who is a bit of a jack of all trades (and to me it seems he could be a master as well, but I wouldn’t know). He does stuff like copying keys, leatherwork, sharpening knives and so on. This is the guy you go to if you need some more obscure thing done. Might be something for you if you like that sort of stuff.

      I know few people who earn a decent living as a “handyman”. Jobs too small for contractors or not sure who to call, you call them. You can get a lot done with a truck or trailer, some basic tools and outdoor yard equipment.

      Edit: word of mouth recommendations are now you grow the business. Always give out two business cards and ask them to pass one on. One guy sends out a carefully written, well designed email quarterly with things you might want to do around your home and his reasonable rates.
