So, I'm looking for a career change since I'm probably going to move to a city of approx 200K people. What's something that everyone needs either it's simple or more complex?

Not interested in funeral services 😛

I know few people who earn a decent living as a "handyman". Jobs too small for contractors or not sure who to call, you call them. You can get a lot done with a truck or trailer, some basic tools and outdoor yard equipment.

Edit: word of mouth recommendations are now you grow the business. Always give out two business cards and ask them to pass one on. One guy sends out a carefully written, well designed email quarterly with things you might want to do around your home and his reasonable rates.
