There is also the bulbs and ballasts change out jobs in office towers and retail stores.
A lot of it though is after normal business hours so that job is not for everybody.

I'm surprised noone mentioned this or maybe it's just because I live in Chicago now but... Hitman! Not that boring, lead flinging stuff. I'm talkin' Charles Bronson "Mechanic" style. Electrocutions, elevators, exploding toasters, space heaters, that sort of thing. I thought the Jersey and Detroit guys were going to take the lead on this one...<G> Joe

I can't say what others would be good at, but I really enjoy stained glass. My 'wife' and I took lessons about 10 years ago. We got pretty good over the years.
That is what I like to do. I have my own lamp design that I plan to get CSA approved in the future. Some of my lamps have over 300 pieces of glass.. some pieces smaller than a thumbtack.
The lamps involve intricate design, woodworking, soldering, and electricity... all things I enjoy.
My advice would be to try working 3 days a week for a while, and spending the off time to play around and explore. I did this for a year, and greatly improved my designing and woodworking skills, among many other things. You learn to relax, and center, and out of that comes ideas...with no clock running your day
Typically what you enjoyed as a child, you will enjoy and be good at today. With some time off you can practice not taking everything for granted. Looking at things with new eyes, like a kid.
There's nothing in stone saying you must do the same thing 8 hours every day.
