Go find an old tiler who wants to teach a young guy and I doubt you'll ever be out of work.

On that residential electrician comment, my buddy does that, he's in his early thirties and already curses attics. I guess that's what apprentices are for.

Hindsight being 20/20 but I wish I would have been exposed to the trades, or firefighting when I was done university. With firefighting you could do both and have a great side gig.
idk, I think in the trades you have to be careful about trading wear and tear on your body, particularly as you get older. You can earn a living but at what cost if you can't enjoy it after work?
