HVAC/Plumber/Electrician and Investor in Denver

[Clayton Hepler]

I am thinking about moving out to Colorado (Denver or Vail) and becoming a HVAC guy, plumber or electrician, because my wife is originally from there. I would love to hear to pros and cons of these professions as well as the Salary for an average plumber, HVAC and Electrician 1 year in, 3 years in and 5 years in(When I would want to run or partner with someone to start my own Business). I am very business oriented ( I own real estate rental properties in Pittsburgh) and went to one of those upper brow snobby universities (Down vote!)

I have never really been a work with the hands type, but I see the opportunity to run my own business in this profession and I think that It will be around for a long time. How would an experienced investor or pro approach this problem?
