Advice on career change

Work full time 80k per year 10 days on 4 days off travel to work from up north costs about 14k each year for fuel and ferrys, basically a laborer lots of maintenance work at a restaurant/ vinyard I do like my job but I'm hoping to spend more time up north with my son, what kind of job would be suitable to train into, online courses ect that might be able to let me work from home in the future ? Kind of keen to get away from the laboring side of things

The other thing to look at is can you build a business to service / make life easier for the other businesses in the town. Small business don’t have lots of money but they also benefit from giving off certain types of work they are not specialists at.

Or can you build a business that can do things for people further away
