Taking some welding or auto-mechanics classes seems like a good bet. 
You pretty much have to be physically present to replace a fuel-injector
or weld a steel beam as part of a bridge or skyscraper.

No joke.. I'm at Wake Tech now working on a Computer Programming degree
and a High Performance Computing degree, and I'm not convinced that all
IT industry jobs in the U.S. will disappear completely... but don't 
think I haven't given some serious thought to scheduling a few welding
classes while I'm out there.. I did two years of it in High School and
while it's not how I'd prefer to make my living, it's better than
unemployment.
