what is easy for one person, is not neccessarily easy for others.
each trade is for not only different jobs, but for different individuals. And likewise each one has its needs and takes an individual who can deal with those needs.
are you looking for a crreer in a trade or something?
IF SO, then what are your interests? and skills?

you can bank roll BIG TIME in real estate . . . and the best part is that you need no up front costs . . . you don't even have to become a realtor to make money in this field.
I bought and sold my first home at the age of 19 and made over 12K in less then two months. That was working part time. Full time i could have tripled that in half the time.

EHHH!!! incorrect.
the market keeps going up. more people are moving in than leaving, SFR's are taking an average of 1 day to be on the MLS before about 8 offers pour in the fax, condos take about 2 days, and the only people that are leaving are the ones who can't afford it anymore. so what they're doing is flooding into the surrounding riverside & san bernardino counties, which is driving even THOSE crappy areas up in value!
new areas like ladera ranch, foothill ranch, northern irvine & tustin ranch, aliso viejo & rancho santa margarita continue to build on new land and the new construction homes are all sold pretty much before the land is even developed.
existing areas are developing on every possible open space. huntington beach, fountain valley, and newport beach are taking every piece of available land and cramming as many homes and businesses as possible. as with everything else, buyers are beating down the doors.
crappy areas are even rebuilding! santa ana and anaheim have both gone through MAJOR revonvations. a co-worker of mine bought an SFR in anaheim 2 years ago for $189,000 and it just appraised for $499,000 last month (no improvements were done).
there's still plenty of land to develope. tons of businesses are moving down here, the new toll roads have made a tremendous impact, and a brand new international airport is still in talks that will DEFINETELY up tourism (not to mention talks of expanding the disneyland monorail system to it).
trust me, we're doing just fine

Back to the topic at hand. By trade I am a boiler operator. Its a rather easy trade to get in on, but the drop out during training is huge. Pay can be what I consider very well though and work is always available. Even internationally, especially the in middle east. They have some sweet package deals if you don't mind living in mini-american villages during your off time for 1-3 years. They won't let you stay much longer than that. Some of the people I work with have taken them.
Residential/commercial trades like carpentry, electrician, plumbing, painting, stationary engineers, etc. you can usually get in on fairly easy. Although work will be a bit more sporadic. If you go one of those routes though, do yourself a favor and take extra class courses or whatever you need to do. In order to gain a recognized journeymans card or accreditation.
Coolest trade to get in on... specialized welding! Some turbine welders and oil platform welders can make millions in just a few years flying around to companies... who will happily pay anything to not shutdown that facility.

Did you buy out of bankruptcy or a tax repo?

I guess it would have been a foreclosure if anything. The home was found abandoned and the bank sold it off for DIRT cheap . . . . I came in painted it up, cleaned out the yard and replaced a few doors and sold it. Made a nice profit that paid for my first two years of college. Have not done it since though.
