For construction trades it's now easy pickin's here in Nor Cal. With the Fires in both Northern Cal and now Southern Cal, THOUSANDS are trying to rebuild houses. All related trades busy across the state. BUT Expensive to live here.
Many live in an RV or camper.
Cost of materials has gone way up and no one can get guys to work. Many tradesmen seem to be gouging a bit, but any skilled building trades ... or even laborers ... are getting work without much in the way resume' or real skill.
So, it's the Wild West again here. Tradesmen pull up to the job in their $60K 4 wheel drive truck with all the Bell's and Whistles. But trades can be tough and hard to find ones that takes you into your 60's and beyond.
The IT kids in San Fran and Silicon valley are killing it too. But very competitive from what I understand.
As said above, really depends on what skills you have. Also consider going down to Mexico or Cent. America and peddle what you have there. Boy, do they need "real" Plumbers and trained Electricians.
Good luck!
