What are some career paths you would've done but didn't because the pay is generally chit and it's difficult to make it big.
Truck driver was one for me. I'd love long ass hauls cruising on the highway, bet you meet all kinds of people and bang so many lot lizards.

Car mechanic was another. Fun to work on my own car but idk the pay is trash, you work in horrible conditions and customers are retards who will hurl abuse when you tell them the repair bill because they drove through a river.
