Electrician is the next big trade skill to look for. Imagine the horde of tech they will need for the incoming electric car transition.

I have a friend who got burned out from coding. He got his electrician papers and started working at data centers because they need electricians on site for emergencies. Since few emergencies happen, he has 80% free time. You know what he does in His free time? Codes games. Funny guy, I tell ya.

It's more fun to code without the pressure of deadlines and not having to adhere to all the requirements a client wants for their app/game

Makes sense actually. Those people who does coding outside work as a SWE are truly passionate about the field. For most of us, that’s going to lead to burnout. It no longer becomes fun if you make it your hobby and a full time job.

There are many skilled electricians that make upwards of $50 an hour. It's a great career choice especially if one likes solving problems and understanding systems and bettering the lives of others.
