Quite a few options. Just about any kind of in demand skill you can find. Lucrative ones at the moment are project management and safety. Any trade skills (not even a completed trade) will put you a up a level because there is a genuine and long-term shortage of tradies, especially in aviation.

Referring to the previous comment, apprentices and workers who complete tasks under supervision start at $90k in the first year, and they still can't get enough. Safety advisors/managers with a Cert IV (One week/$1000 to complete) and industry experience (Crew or otherwise) are pulling between $120k and $235k, and that's only the people I personally know. If you're ex military is varies a lot too. Staff officers are generally making $130k-$200k depending on their qualifications.

Most of these jobs are only three days a week in the office, sleep at home 99% of the time.
