Become an Electronic Electrician.
Ya gotta learn Digital/Analog Electronics, Boolean logic and PWM closed loop servo drives for starters, add PLC/SQL programming and you are now a one man show
I started as an CNC technician taking care of giant gantry spar mills at Northrop. I ended my career up @ Raytheon servicing nine axis robots that stood 30 ft tall.
Just doing the CNC parameter configurations and laser alignment for a new machine install got me nice steady clean work using my mind instead of my back. And I guarantee this job won't be replaced by AI any time soon.
Go to community college and learn electronics and SQL coding it will all flow from there.
I worked second shift and the Navy had a electronics school on site and I studied the curriculum on the sly nightly. Passed an Electronics test @ Rockwell and worked for 30 years and then 10 more as a private controls contractor to get the money for my two Porsches, one that I raced W2W
