Great pay, when you are not laid off....
Electricity is gonna be here for a bit yet.

Right you are and that is why some of the positions I mention are permanent full time with no lay-offs, my Electrician's Union has tons of work and I doubt any real slow down for many years as the Vancouver area is crazy-growing / just pure crazy; some the Electrician's Union work will be of the permanent fulltime type but a lot of it will not, however these jobs are permanent fulltime though with a very low lay-off probability:
The provincial-wide telecom company.
The provincial technical school that trains Electricians.
A 600 employee aerospace company.

i did some part-time teaching at our community college after i retired and found it a very interesting job .
i had never done any kind of teaching before and did it really as a favour to the head of the school of business .
the students were all people already in the workforce working towards a professional accounting accreditation - so no slackers - they were there to further their career .
i did it for about three years and don't regret having done it . don't know if i would have wanted to do it as a full-time career though .

There are forty Electrical teachers already, it's a big school and does a sizable portion of the province, they still need four more at least, the pay is much the same, the benefits and hours and holidays are
maybe better, but it's (as you allude to) a career and not a job so it some sense the responsibilities are much higher than other choices.
