Anybody willing to work can make good money here these days. McDonald's will pay you $17/hr to flip burgers, which is why all their food is twice as expensive as it used to be.

During the initial part of the pandemic, a friend of mine worked on bicycles and motorcycles as a side job, and made more than enough to finally pay off his student loan debt. I think he pulled in close to $100k just doing side jobs.
