If you had £2k to learn a skill, and then £10k to start the business, what would you do? (alien.top)

Pretty much as above. Am Mortgage free, no income as I will be a stay at home dad as of Jan, 34 years of age, wife will be earning more than enough to cover all domestic expenses.
Ideally it will be something I can do from home.

Thanks.

Buy a MIG or TIG welder. Watch some YouTube videos. Hone your skill. Take a class at a community college if you need additional instruction. Weld art if you have that inclination or fences/structures if you want to go that route. Lots of ways to make money from home with this trade. Add in a cnc plasma cutter and fabricate parts, signs, or whatever. You’ll need a covered space and electricity.

I’m curious what you could weld at home to make money. My dad was a welder and he mostly build farm equipment. He had a shop at our house but most of his work was done elsewhere. This was about 40 years ago so things have probably changed.
