Default Career change, boat building?

I've been completely disgusted (and mostly burned out) with the
computer industry lately. I've been programming for 15 years and for
the sake of my sanity, I've been considering jobs in other fields.
Maybe carpentry or maybe even boat building. The problem is, I have
very little experience with either, aside from my personal boat
building projects at a beginner level. I was thinking maybe I could
try for some menial entry level job (helping move and set up
equipment, etc) and eventually gain enough experience to make a
reasonable salary. The question is: Is this even likely? Are there
many jobs out there for boat builders in Florida?

I'm married with kids, so I have to think of them too... ie: I need
enough $ to keep them fed. Any career advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tom
