Nessmuck I did sheet metal work in my early 20s. Worked for a custom shop. My Grampa was a well known painter/body man on the west coast. Bill Heintz.
I’ve never been on the essential side of body and paint.....bet if I was I woulda made consistent money. Eh at the time it was all about cool. I ended up trading the body and paint to be a granite worker. That lasted till I broke my back. Now I water plants lol

I taught farm business management and loved the work, the challenge and my students but I would have liked it even more if I was more physically active. I was on farms most of the time and not at a desk but still could would have been good to have more. I studied and became a certified crop adviser which helped me teach my crops and soils units much better but that is something I would have enjoyed doing during the spring, summer and fall. The financial consulting business I developed was all desk and computer type work but paid much better than many others. I guess that is why I like trapping, gardening, working with livestock etc. I don't make much if anything but I am physically active and mentally challenged. I would like to have been much better trained in being a carpenter.
