Sorry to hear. Repairs do sound fun if you're physically inclined

I do have lots of hobbies, but none would pay a wage. Maybe open a small business of some kind. Surf shop or bike rentals. How does one break into being an electrician? I do like electronic repairs, but not mechanical ones like cars

Those sound pretty cool! I guess for bike rentals the location is everything though. Surf shop seems chill, I dont know how to surf at all, but I can see myself in onz of those shops too :) I'm not sure how you break into being an electrician, I've dipped my those by wiring up the house I'm building. I guess you need to get certified first though, if you're working for others, depending on the laws of the country you are residing in. Electronic repairs are fun but getting boardviews for boards is a pain in the ass, a lot of manufacturers do not want to give it out...
