Several general points rather than a suggestion. One, I would think twice about a job that requires major commuting. I think that is likely to, and should, become a thing of the past. Cheap gasoline has a sale date. And rejecting the "trades" because you had a couple of bad experiences might be a mistake. One of my neighbors moved here with some electrical experience, left his name and number in the local hardware stores and started getting work; he has now expanded to other renovation work, sometimes has an assistant, and makes a living. Which leads to my main point: I don't know what area you're looking at, but if you'd consider West Virginia, we have cheap land, low property taxes, no hassles about building codes in the rural parts, low cost of living (also low wages), and it's one of the oldest states...so able-bodied young people willing to work can get work. Another general point is that it's a good idea to consider a sheaf of small income streams rather than one well-paid job that could be lost.
