I’m a student and it’s going to be another few years before I can get a serious job in the field I’m studying. I’m looking for jobs to do while studying to pay the bills in the meantime. I could go and work as a cashier or something but I’ve been thinking it would be more attractive to pick some sort of skill (eg. being a cook) that I could do to earn money and improve at along the way. Some skill that once mastered pays relatively well. Ideally something intuition-based or hands-on so that I can relax from studying. Any recommendations?

      plumber and electrician too but none of these are a side hustle really, just incredibly good careers

        They can be side hustles when you first start out. It’s a lot of doing what the seasoned techs tell you to do, but you will learn on the job. Pay isn’t bad either and we desperately need more people in the trades.

          Pay is great in my opinion for apprentices but the hours are tough. You will definitely learn a shit load quickly if you pay attention, ask questions, and find a company/lead that doesn’t treat you like shit.
