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?

You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.

Like my grandmother used to say, there will always be a need for teachers and medical professionals.

Not promising either are easy to attain or will pay well though, much less have good working conditions.

Good luck!

Look into the trades.

Rock solid employability, especially if you're competent in self-employment.

You get to experience, 1st-hand, middle-class & upper-middle-class prejudice/contempt/denigration-programming, too

( which is useful karmically: many of us are unconsciously-wired to buy-into class-system-based-"validity"/status,

and facing into karma, or, as Yehoshua "Jesus" benJoseph said the same thing, "taking up one's cross", as a means of destroying the unconscious-ignorances that undermine our Eternities/Souls/CellsOfGod in THEIR evolution is strategically wise, see?

I don't want my Soul/ChildOfGod EVER getting caught in some life due to its unconsciousness, ever again!

Rip the unconsciousness-rule "strategy" right out from the ground, you know?

I needed 7y of outright-homelessness to finally crack my unconscious-mind's sticking-to-class-prejudice,

and I still haven't ripped out all of the remnants,

but the core of it cracked a decade ago, and my life is free-er as a result, the Eternity I'm just a little participant in, is no longer "stuck on a rock, in the rapids" of Eternity/karma...

Facing into karma, as a means of freeing one's Soul can be immensely empowering.

Also, smart tradespeople outcompete many, being able to make/earn their economic-autonomy much quicker than the "professional" rat-race/treadmill people do.

( partly that has to do with a good trade ticket taking only 1-2y, whereas a 4y university-degree is .. worthless, economically, worse, it is tons-of-debt. )
