What do you do for hobbies? If you're good enough, you can turn it into a business. I have several friends who lifted weights for a few years, got a good body, then started personal training, helping others get that body, and charging quite a bit of money to do it. Another guy I used to work with did a lot of SCUBA diving, so he got some certifications, and now owns his own diving shop/school and charters his boat. He also put a frozen yogurt shop in his building, since he was right on the beach anyway. Machines do all the work, he just employs high schoolers to keep them clean and filled. Get into a trade. Some places are hurting so badly for workers, you can literally walk in to many shops, and walk out with a job. The kind of people going for these jobs are so shitty, that just showing up to the job will put you in the top 90%. Show up on time, be willing to work and learn, and you'll go far. A friend wanted to learn how to weld, and spent some time watching youtube and reading tutorials, but that's not the same as actually welding. So he went to a local shop, explained that he wants to learn, and asked if he could rent some of their welders from them, and practice on some scrap. They hired him on the spot, and taught him how to weld. He's now making pretty good money doing that. Just went and got underwater welding training. Do what a guy I went to high school with did. He stayed up on tech trends, and when something cool and potentially changing pops up, jump on it, and hope to sell your business to one of the corporations for tons of money. He did it with desktop touchscreens when they started coming out. He started making his own, and some corporation bought him up for a few million. Just did it again last year with IoT "smart" devices. He's a multi-millionaire, and probably did nothing more than just tinker in his basement with junk and opensource code. Went to a few trade shows, and he was bought up pretty quickly.
