What country are you in?
Trades generally make a decent amount. Masonry, carpentry, welding, transportation, electrical, plumbing, waste management, etc all have decent pay rates in most first world countries with codes and regulations.
Communications and drone operators might have a future career, depending on the job and company.
I'm in India. Everyone I talk to just recommend either working as a developer or working abroad.
They do have a reason for saying this though. The average electrician , plumber and carpenter that they know are all make enough to survive but not enough to lead a lavish lifestyle. People who work in waste management and transport usually make even less than electricians and plumbers.
Maybe things are changing these days, I'll have to talk to the right people to get a better idea..
Here in my part of the US, electricians are middle class ($80-120k/yr) and trade company owners well above that.
Trades are one of the best ways to become the owner/self employed and make a lot more. If you are smartish and have your life together you can make a killing.
That makes a huge difference. You're going to get mostly West-specific answers that will be useless over there.
Learn ServiceNow or any other cloud based platform. Get on LinkedIn and build a recruiter relationship. You'll be drowning in jobs.
