I've been thinking of this also. My motives are slightly different - I plan to retire early (at 62) but will want some kind of income to supplement my retirement income. I have worked in non-profit for the last 30 years (boy talk about not getting rich) so I already know about the importance of having work you love. I've been thinking of going to tech school either for small engine or marine mechanics. I wouldn't need steady work so I am thinking that at busy times of the year - the spring for mowers and fall for snow blowers I could find part-time or temporary work.
I say go for it. It seems to me that you could find yourself owning a shop sometime too.
