If you have enough tucked away, quit and travel the world for a year. Do it cheap (hostels, etc) and you could do it for $20K at most. Gain some perspective, chill out and maybe learn some new skills. The question that you want answered is: what is something I like doing, can make money at and can do for the rest of my life?
After the vacay, if you want to be the head honcho, consider buying a business in the stable stage. Large moat (i.e. not much competition), repeating clients/customer base, recession proof. E.g. a small power tools dealership - guaranteed territories and decent ongoing service/rental revenue. Sane 9-5 hours, plus no matter what people still need to get their grass cut or hedges trimmed.
Or maybe an underserved area e.g. look at the food outlets near UBC, SFU, BCIT (or any large institution) and figure out what's missing. Maybe a fried chicken place near the new Hospital on Main Street? Or a new poke takeout joint near UBC? Whatever - find a hungry market, then find a product/service to match. (note: NEVER do it the other way - product then market. Far easier the other way. It means the cash is rolling in on day 1.)
Pretty rough being an Uber driver I hear. Have to deal with annoying drunks, pay is lousy and it's quite lonely. (google it and you'll see what I mean) Most RE agents actually don't make a lot, unless you speak Mandarin.
I hear good things about insurance adjusters though, plus it's growing due to climate change. Qualification takes about 2 years I think.
edit: regarding what I said about serving the market...look at Anton's in Burnaby. Marginal quality, but huge quantity. It shouldn't work but it does. Lineups all the time. Why? Because that's what the market wants.
