I will give my educated opinions on all that you have mentioned. firefighter: government doesnt pay well enough. Forest management, dont know much about it but if Almighty God grows trees by himself man does a good job wrecking them. I think that forest management would be trying to prevent forest fires and stuff. AG business, HHHmmmmm tough to say. Iron worker: dangerous to climb heights and you are always out in the weather year round, if your working you would probably be a union man if this was your trade. Sheetmetal, HVAC guys do this and proabably make good money. (more on this in a minute) and last small engine mechanic, you would likely end up working at a tractor dealership if your lucky and you would have to find out what they get paid. The HVAC trade seems to be pretty good, The going rate for a company to come work on your furnace or air conditioner is $60/hour (minimum) of course you would only see about $25/hour + benefits. Which is still good money. The company that works on my building (I am the maint. supervisor at my place) charges $60/hour and they are always busy, and they only do commercial work.
