Long term working pretty much any straight job is bad for your health. Software design will make you crazy. Working construction for any company means getting squeezed to work too hard. Best to avoid the whole exploitative toxic mess.

Best to live in the margins.

I work as an independent general contractor in a rural area. Fix and/or build toilets, floors, walls, lights, fences etc. A little bit of everything. It's surprisingly stable. Don't even have to advertise. No boss. Good pay. No bennies.

My wife has tons of medical issues. That would not work for me but honestly you need a certain mindset for that I just don't have. Most businesses actually grow out of people doing what you are now.
