Don’t need to be an electrician to be a tradesmen and yes that’s fine to be changing careers.

I’m an HVAC technician, i service commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment. We just had a 28 year old start 2 weeks ago and a new guy who’s in his 30s this coming week. Speak to your local union halls about jobs. You can be a machinist at the Millwright union working on compressors to combustible engines and more. You can focus on robotics, etc.

There is tons of trades such as longshoremen, HVAC, plumber, equipment operators, who makes very good money. The equipment operators around me are unionized and they work 4-8 hours a day but take home is a percentage of jobs, which ends up being a 50+ an hour work.

The demand is there for people to get into trades even without experience, speak to your local union. Also check out elevator technician, those guys make bank.
