Unique "learn a trade bro" ideas?

[Anonymous No.53667184]

We all know the traditional trades such as welding, plumbing, etc., but what are some other home-service type of trade ideas? I'm thinking of taking up something that isn't already oversaturated. Here are some I can think of:
> Home security installation
> Kitchen renovation
> Gutter biz (cleaning + gutter guard installation)
> Chimney cleaning

What are some other unique niche trade ideas that can still make a lot of money? I understand saturation is everywhere, but keep in mind there is such a thing as oversaturation to the point your business fails right of the gate (always happens if you make your niche too generic, then that means normies have already flooded the market beyond repair).

I always thought that custom built saunas would be cool. I live in a mountainous boomer retirement area though, not sure if there would be as much of a market elsewhere.

Bump. I went to school for close to six years to become a codefag. Chatgpt makes me obsolete. Literally need a new skill. Any paramedics on this board?

pest control unironically

people don't like working it for being too gross for killing insects and / not wanting to kill pest animals including feral cats, and other animals limp wrist PETA faggots think are cute.

down side to this job is doing hoarder houses / properties though, shit is wild.

If you get enough experience and knowledge, get into ratting, get 2 or 3 dogs, train them to sniff, hunt, and kill rats, feed them rats as rewards, and you can rat out farms and gain more rural customers for a more ethical way of pest control for rats / rodents, poison in general = bad.

Sadly I screwed myself hard by going into a job that was COBOL (incredibly ancient language), I quit it last year and I'm just pulling my hair out right now figuring out where to go next in my life.

Just general electrician.

Not nearly as bad as bricklayer/plumber, and still can rake in $$$ if you're good. People need it all the time even for simple shit.

I know a guy who installs home theaters and hangs tv and installs sound systems and similar stuff. He doesn't do high enough volume for it to be his main income stream but his effective hourly rate is impressive. Has a super simple Google site, "lastname tv mounting services" and similar all point to it.

Not a bad idea! I've had experience installing speakers with av receivers/amps - would be a useful business considering many boomers have trouble with that type of stuff on their own.

Cleaning. If you can break into short-term rental cleaning, you can make good money. It's hard work so you need to find young people who want to roll their sleeves up for minimum wage. You're essentially a middleman, you don't actually clean yourself btw ofc

Be a trader it makes sense only 90% of first time traders are profitable of that 10% only 1% make most of that profit if you can figure trading out you're just taking money from the 99%

How do you even start doing pest control? I don't think anyone teaches that but there is quite some knowledge involved.
How does one know whether their service is in demand? I live in a country of 2 million, i have a feeling people here do this shit themselves.
I thought about gutter cleaning too, that's actually something most don't do themselves but i haven't seen anyone in my neighbourhood have their gutters cleaned
by someone else either

PETA faggots unironically have a higher animal killcounts than the average pest control. Specially when it comes to cats

I’m about to give you a huge redpill. Biomedical technicians AKA hospital equipment maintainer. There is a huge understaff and boomers mostly work here and are all set to retire in this decade leaving more of a demand. Pay scale says 50-60k but that’s entry level hospital work. Work for field service for a big company where you can travel the state and can start making 70+ and clear 6 figs after a year or two. It’s about 1-2 years of education but some places don’t even care and just hire you no experience they are so understaff. I did active duty army route where training is world class unlike everything else in the army. If you want literally a slam dunk path go reserves (40k bonuses at the moment) do basic 3 months (sucks) do schooling for job (1 year of school house being awesome and anything army related sucking ass) get instantly head hunted by GE, Philips, or any big company to do field engineering. Work 1-3 years get imaging experience (x-rays) clear 6 figs doing non back breaking blue collar work in a hospital environment. Recession proof, above average salary, fulfilling work, lots of paths to get in, high in demand and can work anywhere in the western world you are so in demand.

you'd probably have to hype it up, maybe even door to door it. If it catches on you have an entire market to yourself.

Paramedics barely more than minimum wage. You won't want to do a job in which you see lots of shit just to make $2 dollars more than your average McDonald's worker.

as a machinist i don't know what's going to happen. there's like 1 young talented guy in the field for every 4 boomers retiring. I'm gonna try and sell my shop on the idea of automation and robotics then segway into being the setup guy for that.

>trades
>oversaturated
I mean there's such things as like, particular local electrical-workers' unions that have long waiting lists. But I work in property management, and the idea of any of the basic trades being "over-saturated" is hilariously out-of-touch. If you live anywhere near a mid-to-large American population center, there is exponentially more work that needs doing than people who can do it. Plumbing especially, but even low-barrier-to-entry stuff like painting, drywall, basic cleaning services, you will be as busy as you want to be. The major bottleneck these businesses face is STAFFING, not finding enough work.

Yeah that's just being a handyman. My old roommate did that. You can start taking work via fiverr/taskrabbit type apps and ideally you find a couple boomers who just liked the initial ~$125 job you did for them and you build a network of people who call you whenever they need something done around the house. OP was asking a stupid question but you did manage to describe basically the only field that IS oversaturated (though you can still always set yourself apart by literally just, picking up the phone when people call, showing up when you say you will, and not being literally high when you do). TV mounting, audio and in-home wireless system setup, putting together furniture or stuff like backyard-playground-equipment, that was his bread and butter. But it's like you say, a good "effective hourly rate" for side-jobs but he wouldn't have been able to fill his day or pay his bills without taking moving-jobs, which is just about the most-miserable way to make a living in America. Pure bottom-rung, extremely-laborious. Literally work foodservice or retail before doing that. This guy hated his life, and with good reason.
