I struggle a lot with finding ideas that would work with me, or I see merit in. I feel many have this issue, where its hard to find a problem to solve, when for YOU it isn't a problem. Also! Based on life experience and slowlane careers, you probably have skills that transfer well to other paths that you have no clue about... So! I will start..

Situation:
-27 years old, married, want kids, have $15K cash, Live in a RV
(Young, have a teammate, have some cash, have freedom of location)

Strong Skills:
-Manufacturing Engineering, 3D CAD design, 3D printing, Jack of all trades (Automotive, plumbing, electrical, Home repair, fabrication etc.)
(Very hands-on skills, can make products a reality, understand how things work)

Weakness:
-Great at fixing anything (I don't see problems other people have that need solving).
-
Freedom of location (No roots, no land, no contacts)
-Wanting a farm and family (Building a farm, raising kids, homeschooling, all clash with pumping money into a business)

So! With that being said... What ventures do you think I'd be successful at? Feel free to copy this template, and fill it in yourself!
