Something like a skilled trade would be a pretty good fit for me, I think. I was a woodworker for about 20 months, doing finished and upholstered (either/or, not both) cabinets, primarily upholstered. That was enjoyable and stress-free - I find that once I get into a groove, I can generally work all day with very little need for breaks and very little fatigue. Something like woodworking or machining might be a good way to go. Do you know of any good resources to read up on how to get started in those fields?

Maybe I should expand on my work experience a bit. I worked at a car audio shop for a couple years until it closed, becoming retail supervisor along the way (really, my job involved the same sales poo poo along with some bonus paperwork for tracking and planning inventory and purchases). After that, I didn't do poo poo for a couple years - I went to college for two terms, though, with the aforementioned lack of success. I moved up to Washington and was one of three people in a small woodworking company until that situation blew up and the company stopped being active (technically still around, but not making revenue or selling products). I moved back to Oregon, worked at Best Buy for 18 months, and I've working at the ecig shop for about 6 months now.
