Thanks for starting this Thread Cecily. I think it's a great idea for people to share how they are making a living, and also where the money is at.
I'm in Real estate and new construction home sales. The money is pretty good, I'm on route to make over $100k this year, but last year I only made around $80k. In my area the average household income is around 65k so I feel like I'm doing pretty well, but I also feel like the kind of work I do is knocking years off of my life because of the stress. I worked construction before this as a block and stone mason and really enjoyed it, but the money just wasn't there when I stopped 4 years ago. My step brothers are still in the masonry business and I often want to go back to that, but I also don't want to cut my income in half.
I've looked into long haul trucking and if you become an owner operator, there is potential to make upwards of $180k a year. It's a lot of work, but to be your own boss and see the country, sounds great to me.
I hope more people share what they do, I'm always looking for inspiration, even if it is from an elf sim forum.
