<prompt> Human: Im a 28 year old guy looking to switch lanes as Ive been in retail for a few years following my bachelors degree IT major, socially responsible entrepreneurship minor. Before anyone asks, my degree didnt involve programming or math and I dont know how to code.Id really like to get into the field of building off the grid homes and getting involved in the tiny house movement, as well as general residential building using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Theres a good school nearby offering building certificates and training for about 3k per semester. I have friends who went and said it was really eye opening. From a finance standpoint is this a good idea or is there more to consider? I figure even if I dont get into this field I could always use the skill set to flip houses or work on the many dilapidated homes my family owns and surely would pay to see restored. Edit: For some background I recently got engaged and am making just under 15hr as the primary breadwinner in my household. My fiancée has been suggesting I work for Uber or some similar company in addition to my retail job, but Im looking for something where I can move upward and at the same time, not have to go to 4-8 more years of school to do so. Uber and retail isnt going to help me five years down the road when Im still making 21k after taxes.  <response>: As a person who grew up in the construction business, my advice would be to get your hands on the contractors licensing guide for your state, start studying, find a contractor to work for who will advise you on the licensing process, gather the sustainability knowledge on your own and start building shit.
