I'm not sure how to put this politely, but there are hundreds of millions of people working in the US, all of whom bring their own skill and experience to the job.
If you want us to help you, help us by telling us what you mean by "pay well" and "pays decent enough to buy a house" and what exactly you're good at.
This post has been removed because we don't allow career guidance, career path, and job choice questions (rule 9). Other subreddits are better equipped to address this topic:
/r/jobs is a general discussion forum for job-related topics.
/r/CareerGuidance is a place for individuals to ask questions and get advice about their careers.
/r/FindAPath is a place for figuring out what you want to do (both career and education).
You may also want to ask on a career-specific subreddit, especially for any topic that depends on the job sector and career such as salary negotiation questions.
If you're looking for adrenaline, try skyscraper or powerline repair.
Human waste treatment diver.
If you have at least an undergraduate degree in something like electrical/chemical engineering, you could work in Dubai/UAE and make 200k/year no taxes.
There are moments, and most events in life come in waves that ebb up and down. You can always check out trade school routes, but there will be times where you want to throw your head into the wall the same way an email would make you.
Tons of high skill trade jobs. Electrician, carpenter, plumber, line worker . . . I know folks employed as line workers via power companies pulling in 6 figures.
