trade school apprenticeship program.
Damn it.
Worst comes to worst, that's probably what I'm looking at. Only thing with trades is we all get old and I fucking hate traveling.
ok.
after 10 years experience you hire some juniors.
by 15 years you're mostly in the office sending people out on jobs.
by 20 years your successful plumbing business pulls in plenty of money and you don't have to lift a finger.
then you sell it for loads of money and retire early.
huh?
Why would someone downvote this? It's great advice. I'll add that you want to work your ass of in your 20s while you have the energy to work 60 to 80 hours a week. By time you're in your 30s/40s and built up your reputation for good work, you just handle the business side and let the young guys handle the labor.
And to add, you're not living up to the username. That's totally reasonable.
sorry.
let me give different advice.
Take your stimmy check and yolo it on GME calls, retire with $$$ this summer, better yet, try to make a career out of day trading. I hear its really easy and hardly anyone loses money at it.
Good point.
Hey, I am currently working on a trade job and while the pay isn't the best (to be fair, it is my first year) it is decent and stable, unlike many other jobs, trade jobs are almost always needed, so the demand is there. Anyhow, you know what they say, beggars can't be choosers, so you gotta play with the cards you are given.
Some trades don't require a lot of traveling. I work in a metal fabrication shop doing a standard 40 hours a week making structural steel pieces. Never had a job that felt this good before this one.
I am 50, been remodeling condos and houses 30 years. Yeah, I am shattered when I come home, but fit as hell, and never sick.
