So, I'm looking for a career change since I'm probably going to move to a city of approx 200K people. What's something that everyone needs either it's simple or more complex?

Not interested in funeral services ๐Ÿ˜›

Garbage men. You can shut down a city pretty well by not collecting any garbage. But I hope you're not in the USA. The way I hear it it's mostly really hard dangerous manual labour in that backwards country.

    I worked summers in high school with my town street maintenance department, shoveling asphalt in the Virginia heat and other assorted fun tasks.

    One day the trash department was short a body and my boss volunteered me to help them for the day. It was the single hardest work day of my life, and we were done with our route by noon. I have no end of respect for the people that do that job.
