Risk: Moderate

I’d rate the risk a 3 out of 5 because: - Money: Initial costs can include tools and transportation. If demand is low or competition is high, these costs might not be recouped quickly. - Time and Energy: It requires significant time and physical effort, especially if jobs are sporadic or far apart. - Confidence: Beginners might struggle with complex assemblies, leading to dissatisfaction and potential loss of clients. - Online Feedback: Some beginners report challenges in finding consistent work or underestimating the physical demands, leading to burnout or giving up. Overall, while there is potential to break even or make a profit, the risk of minor losses in money and significant investment in time and energy is present.
