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?

There’s a lot of different pay plans out there. No idea what roto rooter is paying their techs these days.
