I had a neighbor who did title searches for a real estate company or bank- she said that it doesn't sound too exciting, but it paid well. Her philosophy was "Find a job nobody else wants to do and do it so well they have no choice but to pay you very well".
Sound advice, she seems like a survivor.
In the spirit of
@Ponzio's discussion, a lot of those sorts of jobs will likely be automated away, in a lot of areas. What then? It's just those sort of unwanted jobs that the smart kids in tech are trying to automate. This isn't like 1905 when labor was huge. Today, labor, and a growing contingent of whie collar worker bees, are headed toward irrelevance.
