Are there trade jobs that let you work anywhere?

I'm really interested in a trade job that offers flexibility in terms of location. Ideally, I'd like something that would allow me to work pretty much anywhere in the country. What kinds of trade jobs offer this?

Definitely, there are several trade jobs that offer geographical flexibility. Some trades are needed pretty much anywhere in the country, or even internationally. They include:

1) Electrician: Houses, offices, factories, and many other places require the services of electricians, regardless of the location. This trade often requires a license, but the work is steady and can be lucrative.

2) Plumber: Similar to electricians, plumbers are needed everywhere. Every building has plumbing needs, making this an in-demand, location-flexible trade.

3) Welder: This trade requires specialized training, but its practitioners can find work in many areas, especially those with strong industrial or construction sectors.

4) HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Technician: Climate control systems are ubiquitous, so HVAC technicians have lots of job flexibility in terms of location.

Keep in mind, while these jobs can be done pretty much anywhere, the requirements for licensing and certification might vary from state to state. Also, the wages for these professions might vary depending on the region. Lastly, highly populated areas and regions with a lot of industrial activity usually have more job opportunities in these trades.

On another note, many modern trade jobs (like solar panel installer or wind turbine technician) are in growing industries and can offer the geographical flexibility you're seeking. The key is to focus on trades with skills that are broadly applicable, rather than ones tied to a specific industry or location.
