I commend your local community college or vocational school to your attention, specifically the welding courses.

Welding is a skill that is in high demand (always has been) and can be used everywhere. It’s a skill I don’t have (yet), but I plan to begin courses later this year.

I hear you. I have a masters degree in an IT area and work in the field. I'm also thinking about going to the local CC and taking classes for a trade.

The trades will always be needed no matter what turn the economy or civilization for the matter takes.
