Construction and the trades involved in it. Now, you'll probably fire back and talk about all of the immigrants that are in those jobs and how they're driving down the labor rates...fine then, think small, be small. The money is made being by being a general or sub contractor (If I'm not mistaken, many states require a five-year apprenticeship in a trade and then passing the licensing requirements) is very handsome.

Good observation. I was a general contractor (a partner in a medium size 2/4 mil annual billings)
The wages are less now than they were 20 years ago, While some may cheer that, to me as a builder it represents a smaller customer base.
