Needing to replace a 200k per year career. Any ideas?
I have a great career of 19 years as a fire fighter where I make 200k per year. Unfortunately, my hearing has declined over the last 5 years and I may no longer meet the minimum standard to remain employed so I could be retired.
I need to think about the future and hopefully replace my 200k per year with starting or buying a business to support my family. I have 150k saved and can buy or start a business with it. Is there anything that jumps out as a safe and great idea? I don’t really have any other specialties as I’ve done this since I was 20 years old. It kills me that I could lose this career but I have to prepare for the worst.
I currently also sell real estate and have done so for 10 years. I have made decent money doing that(extra 70-90k per year) but with the current market and huge influx in real estate agents … it has became hard to stay above water with it.
Any input is appreciated. Thank you
