There are some high ticket items in manufacturing that can make a killing.

A friend of mine works for Turner, they had to buy a million dollar tool for one of their sites. Imagine selling that?

I have always been a fan of the "sell tools to the gold diggers" mentality.

very interesting to hear about manufacturing. wouldn't have thunk it. med device, if you stick with it for a while, is big time $$$. it's a lifestyle job though, don't have a family. top rep when i was in the industry making an easy $400k+ . 2 co-owners of the company took a cut of EVERY reps commission. Easily making a million+ a year

ingredients. People are always going to buy food. Does it switch from premium to store brand? Yes. Dining out to dining in? Absolutely. But no matter the economy, there is always a need for food ingredients. It’s a technical role and most have food science backgrounds but there’s a few of us who were able to get into industry right out of college and once you’re in, you’re good to work for any ingredient manufacturer.
