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 😛

My brother is ten years older than me and works electrical. I worked as a cook then got into programming. I'm in my 50s.

We both have a chronic illness that causes spinal fusion. I look like a hunchback and his posture is normal.

So trades can wear you down, I got out of cooking for my health, but all the movement and exercise can be good for you if you don't wreck your back and knees, I guess.
