Locksmithing/access control is an industry that is sorely lacking new people going into it and the only interaction I have with AI is from one coworker in marketing for the company who uses chatgpt to write her emails. I definitely don't make as much as my friends who are programmers though.
Interesting. I was considering locksmithing as a way to get some supplemental income later in life. I've done skilled labor and light IT work most of my life and it seemed like a good fit for my skill set. I'll have to move that to the top of the pile of possibilities.
As long as you are already mechanically inclined it's not that hard to learn and it's not as hard on your body as a lot of other trades.
Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.
