Completely out of tech: my sister has a dog training business. I will go train dogs with her and help her run her business. It may not be totally safe from a big economic downturn. People tend to spend less on their pups in hard times. But

Same, thank you. I have a friend and coworker who is currently struggling with this thing and similar "not making anything" issues from having worked a "maintenance/support" job consisting of little day-to-day make-
