Considering Weekend/evening Side-hustle

I’m still early in my engineering career, and I’m already starting to feel worn down by office culture. During high school and university, I spent my free time buying and fixing salvaged cars, then flipping them for profit, which earned me solid money. At the time, I seriously considered opening a small mechanical shop or a tire and oil change business if I didn’t land a job right after graduating. That plan never materialized, though, because I had an offer lined up before graduation - both a blessing and a curse.

The auction platform I used to buy cars switched to a much larger platform, opening bidding to more individuals and dealers. It has become far more competitive and much harder to buy vehicles at prices that still leave room for profit.

Lately, I’ve been looking into buying a pickup truck for home renovation projects. That led me to consider purchasing a dump trailer (that I would need for renos) and offering trailer rentals and junk removal services on weekends. Additionally, I’m very hands-on and mechanically inclined - I can work on cars and fix just about anything around the house.

I’d appreciate any recommendations on whether you’d pursue the path I’m considering or suggest a different direction altogether.
