What career paths are available out in rural areas for someone looking for a career change? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm a depressed web developer who's hypothetically thinking about a possible career change. The issue is I live in a rural area. I'm wondering what kind of new career paths would be available to me out in the country? Two I can possibly think of would be a welder and construction, but I have no idea beyond that. Plus there's the plethora of things I could possibly do online that Inhave no idea about.

I will most likely just stay as a work from home web developer, so don't worry too much about me. But still wondering what possible alternatives there are out there, if anybody has any ideas they wouldn't mind sharing.

I also realize that "rural" might not be specific enough, but I don't want to get any more specific than that for privacy reasons.

Yeah that makes sense. Fintech is stressful and often morally ambiguous at best IME. I’d extricate myself from that situation ASAP were I in your position.
