If I had to start over now, it would be in an oil/gas field. When I do work in the Gulf coast area, there are a lot of new job openings posted down there. Some require a trade school and there are some that do OJT. But if you are willing to move to TX or LA, you can make a good living. The industry is sort of like the defense sector - i.e. the higher risk or more remote jobs (oil platform for example) pay the most. But there are lots of jobs out there and they are hurting for candidates. If you like winter sports, then you could work in Canada too--if that is your thing but I would prefer to remain Stateside myself.
