[Serious] What occupation could an unskilled uneducated person take up in order to provide a good comfortable living for their family?

Garbage collector (I think)

As others have mentioned, consider going into a trade. If you’re made of strong stuff, I would suggest plumbing. Bonded plumbers are some of the highest paid tradesman, and the earning potential is going to skyrocket over the next decade. Much like nursing, or probably worse, the largest age demographic of plumbers is reaching retirement age and there are not even close to enough people going into the profession to replace them.

Get in a trade union. They’ll teach you. It can be rough at the start as you’re the low guy on the list but it will work out.

Cleaning up crime scenes pays well.

DoD contractors are struggling for tradesman right now. My job is literally taking people right out of tech school or off the streets and teaching them sheet metal/welding/pipe fitting.

Job security is great and the pay grades are unbeatable by smaller shops.
