I currently am a carpenter with a small business (edit:I own the business).I make good money. I am able to pay all of my family‘s bills and afford the minor luxuries, but we don’t have health insurance. The baby has it through the state for one year. But that’s going to be ending in six months. I am also paying very minimal taxes.That will have to change eventually.
I’m trying to figure out the best way to go forward. I have an appointment with an advisor at the local community college to try to get different certifications in the construction field, like a home inspector license, or residential and commercial electricians license. I’ve also been thinking about joining the military. With the test scores I got I will never have to see combat and would basically be able to pick any job I wanted (or so they say). I also have an opportunity to work for the state. It will be a pretty big pay cut and very hard to pay the bills, but there is room for advancement, a pension, and full coverage for my family.
The money I make now is great, it will be more than any entry level job that I would be able to get. I’m just thinking about the future and trying to figure out the best option to get my family healthcare, not get assfucked by the IRS, and advance in my career. Thoughts?
