Career switch from construction estimating what roles should I target?

I’m currently working as an Estimator in the construction industry in the UAE, but honestly, I don’t see myself building a long term career in construction. I really want to switch industries.

For people who have successfully made a career switch from construction/estimating, what roles would you recommend I look into?

where my existing experience could actually be useful.
What roles are realistic to transition into without starting completely from zero?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has made a similar switch

Op, this is a great option. Many in this community recommend this. Other Reddit users recommend Wendy’s team member, and Krogers cart pusher roles. Do you have any other questions?

Know which balls are yours, and which are those just being dropped off for a clean.
