I'm using Dunwoody as an example here a lot because that's where I'm going so it's the school I know. There's tons of other options like Henn Tech, Anoka Tech, etc. But here's some options at Dunwoody that I think would be good tech degrees.
Anything IT, computers, internet, smart devices, everything has some sort of software to it now.

HVAC, work on construction or design, residential or commercial, etc.

Welding. Real welding, not building intercooler piping, talking structural/industrial professional welders. They make decent money

Robotics. Every business is looking towards automation now to increase efficiency and reduce cost.

Out in the skilled labor workforce, you'll also see a lot of "mechanics". Not auto mechanics, but just mechanics in general. Here for example we build cranes. So we have guys in the shop who are electrical techs (they do all the wiring and stuff like that), and we have mechanical techs who assemble the structure, do all the alignments, etc. So if you really like mechanical type stuff, that would be an option where you're still building mechanical things but not on greasy cold cars in the middle of winter. A lot of those guys don't have any degree, so having pretty much any sort of manufacturing related degree would put you ahead if you want to go that route, even an auto mechanic type of degree I'm sure would look good for those kinds of jobs as they're just looking for a mechanically minded person in general.
