Well paying skills to do as a side job? (lemmy.ml)

I'm a student and it's going to be another few years before I can get a serious job in the field I'm studying. I'm looking for jobs to do while studying to pay the bills in the meantime. I could go and work as a cashier or something but I've been thinking it would be more attractive to pick some sort of skill (eg. being a cook) that I could do to earn money and improve at along the way. Some skill that once mastered pays relatively well. Ideally something intuition-based or hands-on so that I can relax from studying. Any recommendations?

Technically that’s a Drain tech. A plumber will almost certainly tell you they don’t unclog drains (even though there is GREAT money in it, since no one wants to do it themselves, but will complain about the price anyway).
