The remote-work revolution has led some U.S. technology companies, from startups to Coinbase and Shopify, to seek new hires in Latin America -- where they can find qualified people in roughly the same time zone who'll work for much lower pay.
techies finally going thru their own "deindustrialization"
off the top of my head, elevator mechanic? pretty okay pay, offshore proof, maybe recession proof, good growth in positions. I dont know how long training is tho, and I assume youd have to okay being in tight spaces.
If you can get a counseling degree reasonably cheap it's pretty good, just be prepared to listen to peeps BS and have to find ways to healthily compartmentalize it. Nursing is similar in what I've experienced in hearing shit I shouldn't have to hear.
I mean the peeps I've met in it are pretty cool. There's also nutritional science (can start by getting a Associates in it and working at low cost, hospitals always need peeps to go over TPN and other nutritional orders and outside of that you can become a nutritional counselor.
Ah yeah it can be grating and doesn't allow much maneuvering compared to nursing (I'm currently going into public health due to how bedside is currently broken and isn't gonna repair itself in a while). There's also physical therapy as well, lot less stressful than nursing and allows one to work in hospitals as well as in individual clinics or via private practice. Mind though that you should strive to obtain you're PT degree as cheaply as possible as it requires a master's level to be certified to practice.
Healthcare seems to be the one thing there will always be a demand for. Medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacology etc. are probably some of the best bets in the long term.
If you like CS, stick with CS. Fact is that it's still one of the easiest, cushiest jobs that offers the best salary to effort ratio if you have an interest and at least some competence in the field. These remote jobs aren't gonna be a threat to wages as much as you think (coordination costs are big), and job instability isn't as bad as you think.
Trust me, if you're a CS major now, you'd be in hell trying to be a nurse lmfao. If you're a STEM-brain and you're really obsessed with stability, get into power distribution/transmission engineering. We got a grid that needs fixing, just expect to get paid like shit and guilt-tripped over "service" to do it.
Power is a good way to go, there is also telecommunications and other positions that exist in utilities and government that are pretty stable and comfy for our local STEMoids

It didn't really read like that.
More like someone looking to not live in poverty is all.
normally id say nurse as thats technically been the fastest growing field for like at least the past five years, but, ykno...
you could still be a home care nurse, if you think youd be up for it.
other than that, you could work for the government, but obviously we both know thats not gonna happen lol
you could do real estate i spose, does involve being very social and a good liar. Anyways hope that cleared things up for you
