    Usually any type of machine operator would fit the bill. Get a professional license for wheel loader/excavator/whatever and it should be easy enough to find a decently paying job that is not too taxing.

    Really depends on what you want from a job. Does good mean high pay? It’s generally rare to have high paying jobs with low entry requirements, but ICE seem to be throwing money around if you’ve got no morals and abnormal low levels of empathy.

    If good means ‘good for community’ or ‘fun’ or ‘doesn’t involve speaking to too many people’ the answers will be quite different.

      America is like the Mafia.

      I wish I didn’t think that. But I don’t see it any other way anymore. The “good” that America does is not genuine because it’s gotten by manipulation. Like the mob stealing and giving to their neighborhood.

    At some companies, data center entry level.

    I left a place that paid $18/hr for “smart hands”. Tasks included loading dock receiving, front desk security, and cable swapping. Looks good in job history.

    Assuming easy to get means low requirements, Border Services here (the people who check your ID when you’re driving through country borders) can pay over 100k a year and you just need a high school diploma and drivers license.

    If you don’t mind doing a couple years of college then I would recommend something in non-ionizing medical imaging as a safe and in demand career.

      CNC. the world needs parts.
      and Gcode is pretty much a universal language.

      there’s a 1000 applications, you get to make shit out of variety of materials, and the software and machine does most of it for you.

      I don’t think that a job that is going to eventually destroy your body can really be considered ‘good’.

    I don’t think there really is a good job that’s easy to get, not without what you may need to sacrifice.

    And I’m talking, whether you’re okay with living out your comfort zone. Long commutes, potentially living in hotels or cities that have nothing but a Dollar Tree and chain-plaza stores that have nothing else going for them.

    Those are things one has to factor in.
