I'd like to be able to look at a circuit board and know exactly what I'm looking at, and if its fixable or how to fix it if its broken.
I also looked into which programs had openings available, and damn near every trade there had a backlog, some even a 3 year wait. The only one that didn't have a backlog that you could get right in on was Machine Tool and Die.

The grant was around 25 years ago for a building. That was athe time when manufacturing in the U.S. started declining in a major way. Toolmakers and machinists at that time made a lot more than now, partially due to CNC machines but mostly due to jews and traitorous white phucks selling out our nation.
I have some some electronics training and at one point thought along the lines you mentioned, but so much stuff is throw away anymore. To work at repairing boards you'll have to drone work for some major company. Field service work on CNC machining equipment might be worth looking into.
There is currently a shortage of CNC operators and programmers. Not a bad trade to get into. To be a good programmer one needs to have some experience running them first though.
