So, I'm looking for a career change since I'm probably going to move to a city of approx 200K people. What's something that everyone needs either it's simple or more complex?

Not interested in funeral services ๐Ÿ˜›

If you're willing to deal with the later costs on your body, learn a trade.

Plumber, electrician, HVAC. Everyone needs something serviced, it's just getting your name out/getting with a good company. Bonus, these things can follow you anywhere. Big city to small townships.

Welding is another solid one. Good welders can be in high demand.

Again, be forewarned, take care of yourself now, and be ready for it to catch up with you down the line. It's rough on your body.

Only thing with welding over plumber, HVAC and electrician is they are likely going to be needed at a specific location ie industrial plant, construction or automotive stuff they may or may not be in that town and he has to travel to get there.
