There are three main industries that compromise the San Diego industrial sector. They are tourism, manufacturing and the military.

There are a fair number of military bases located in San Diego such as the Navy and the Marine Corps.

So, if you have experience working with heavy machinery or know your way around Allis Chalmers pump parts, then the military might be something you should consider.
