Advice on trades

I'm too old to start again, but if I were a younger man, I'd definitely become a plumber or electrician and start my own business.

I don't think think it takes too long to get into plumbing, and you can make a bundle snaking maxipads out of women's toilets. There's probably more education to become an electrician, but everyone needs an electrician, since in most places it's not legal to hook up to the electrical box yourself.

If I were you, I'd do one or the other in a heartbeat.

Welding is good... Elon's gonna need probably more than one Shipyard's worth...

MIG, TIG, friction welding etc.

Also will lead to welding in Space and on the moon etc.

I'd wanna be really good, and also study "Shipfitting", and have all the wall hangers.

Went to school for HVAC. Its hard to learn sweating pipe and brazing copper over a keyboard. In person will up your hands on skills dramatically. Go to school for it.

Go to a reputable school. They give a bit of practical experience and the better ones have placement officers. Businesses needing entry level people go to these places for new guys. It never helped me but I know a lot of guys that went to pulp mills ($$$$) and manufacturing plants (also pay well).

Better off with a real school, but the good news is that there are community colleges in just about every mid-sized and bigger town.

These guys make really good money and spend their days away from people outside.

Has to be hands on. I forget who said it (Henry Ford?) "Experience is the ONLY teacher"

Your decision to go into trades is very wise. I'd pick plumbing over HVAC but either is fantastic really.
