Study who still has a job when everything non essential is shut down. Study whose companies are not effected by this crisis. Study which industries will get hammered, such as those dependent on importing from China. Then attempt to adjust to a different climate going forward.
A few industries who will still do well are in skilled trade. Plumbers and electricians will still be getting a lot of service calls. As someone who deals with a lot of skilled subcontractors, it's a hidden gem in regards to stability. Bullet point which types of services homes absolutely need.
Case and point. I know someone who once slaved away on Wall St as an analyst. Was miserable. Quit and started an irrigation company, an industry he had spent some time in as a teen. Fast forward a number of years and he has a client base of 1,400 and clears 500K+ net income himself per year. His management now handles day to day operations while he mostly just looks and closes on new business.
Outdoor lighting and irrigation. Homes and commercial businesses will always need his services. Commercial businesses sign 20-30K/yr contracts with him like clockwork. He is exempt from the stay at home order currently in place as a skilled trade.
In my opinion too many have tried to gravitate towards the comfort of working at home. It's the easy way out and carries more risk much of the time. If you learn a skilled trade and build up a client list which is dependent on you year after year, as long as you deliver you have guaranteed income.
And another bonus is he has trained his sons to take over the company when he retires, while his friends battle the outlook of paying 100-200K for their children's college tuition.
