Not sure where you are located, and note that you have young children to look after.... so, might not be for you... but the agricultural sector is desperate for harvest machinery operators at the moment.

Training is provided, no experience is necessary, but it is seasonal and you move north to south following the work the money is ok. You can expect to earn from $27 to $35 an hour as a chaser bin driver or between $32 and $48 in a header. Hours are long an weather dependent.... but you are in a machine with a/c and comfy chair, 99% of the time your are working with a really great crew of ppl from all over.

Some of your existing skills will be very welcome. You would be surprised how transferable things like CRM and the ability to read and interpret weather are.

Another area that needs workers.... but in limited numbers is for loaders in the air ag industry. Worth a few phone calls.

All the best in your search.
