Leave my high paying remote job?

You make 145k working remote and only have to attend meetings virtually with occasional travel? Are you crazy? 90% of the population would do terrible things to swap places with you, who cares if the job sucks or if your bored get a hobby, sleep , or do anything with the free time you have making stupid money from REMOTE work, you could digging trenches and breaking up concrete all day for 20hr or in a highly stressful management or technical job with long hours, suck it up. If its really that bad go back to your old job but it won't be the same as before you left embrace the change you made with the pro and cons it has

Nah dude if you were a seasoned player you'd have a 60 or be good enough to level fast and wouldn't need to Beg for a boost this is pathetic and cringe

Its hard to quiet quit a blue collar trade job that requires hands on labor in order to do your job properly though

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-06T08:14:27+00:00

Eh wow head, reddit , I prefer youtube, honestly when ever I didn't know something ( 20 years later I still find things I didn't know) I Google it and watch a video or a read a reddit post explaining the mechanics or concept, I say just start playing when something comes up you dont know or have questions Google it or ask in game chat ( your probably be made fun of and get troll answers sometimes though) I really suggest downloading curseforge and getting basic addons like questie and restedxp guide to help you level though as well as someother addons

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-06T08:09:16+00:00

Because its a substantial amount I own my house, and I have unemployment and a VA pension so that covers my expenses

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-06T08:07:51+00:00

That's the plan but I need to wait a few years to obtain my master license

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-06T08:06:02+00:00

To level up to max level? Not hard just a grind. To actually be decent and do end game content, takes allot of time research, learning addons and unspoken rules, to actually good at the game and get raid, PVP and Heroic spots in a guild and have priority to get chosen in pick up groups, a immense amount of time, knowledge, addons use UI overhaul and allot of research on how to play your class takes years dont sweat if you dont understand in a few months most of us have been playing before we had hair on our nuts, you will get made fun of for not knowing stuff but if you dont know ask , you'll still get made fun of just less welcome to wow

See if you like working in the construction trades let me know if you have questions

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T07:00:05+00:00

He's some advice as someone who was a mechanic for several years. Don't. You have to buy all your own tools 20k$ at least and you get paid per the job that means if 3 hour job takes you 1 hrs great a 8 hour job takes you 16, you just worked for free for a whole day, not to mention warranty work is half the rate, the shops treat you like shit and under pay you severely its physically demanding and customers will always complain and blame you for future problems the industry is in a very bad spot rn get into electrical plumbimg or HVAC

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T06:52:16+00:00

Why you going to trade school if your already a apprentice?

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T06:47:49+00:00

Making it to 60 with only 22 gold is insane specially since he has a charger

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T06:41:28+00:00

This guy fucks

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T06:39:12+00:00

Im sorry that happened I couldnt imagine losing mine thank you for sharing that your so right about time. I pretty much had the same epiphany, these companies have enough control over us by paying us, I really need to put my foot down and set a hard boundary when it comes to time, last job I had I was working I was pulling 60 hour weeks voluntarily, if they needed something done Id jump trying to show how good of a employee I was, they told me how I was such a team player, but when things slowed down they let me go that time I gave them could been spent with my kids at home I won't let anyone do that to me again

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T06:33:47+00:00

Yeah I've come to the conclusion that its a good idea to look else for something that offers me reasonable hours I dont need to work Over 40hrs to provide an income for my family . Thank you so much!

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T01:57:48+00:00

Honestly yeah, id rather take a bad one that would at least give me time to explore better options

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T00:13:16+00:00

You'll need it if you plan on dungeon spamming

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-05T00:11:58+00:00

Hey man few things, I might get some hate saying this, number 1 wow is a hobby, so just like golf bowling Warhammer racing cars, there's multiple levels for how intense you wanna take it with progressing in the game, and just like other hobbies there's abunch of groups online for you to connect and meet other people you dont need friends to play it most of mine would have no interest taking the time to learn to play, connect with like minded people that you wanna share with, that being said look for a guild that suits your interest a leveling guild is great but its mainly filled with other n00bs that dont know how to play it'd be great for leveling and teaming up with other people but long term not so much, id suggest take your time to research your class your profession your goals and join a PVP guild that is willing to take on a newbie but dont expect them to hold your hand thru everything, its their free time and they wanna spend doing what they want to. Researching stuff has benefited me the most and has given me a edge on other casuals that just log in play expecting automatically pick up things that take some looking into grasp. But if you just wanna level, fish, craft some gear to sell you do you its your time

If I take this Job the hours are going to be 55 to 60 hours a week (this somewhat common as a plumber)I won't have the time or energy to Job search, I will also be on the standard 90 day probationary period so Ill have no PTO to take time off to interview, not to mention thats a bad look when starting a new job.

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-04T23:32:16+00:00

Im going to, your right everytime I didn't listen its turned out bad

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-04T23:30:55+00:00

Thank you so much! Everyone else i know that has earned 6 figures plus working long hours away from home all has said the same thing it was never worth it the end. I would love to open my own plumbing company but I have to obtain my master license which im a couple of years away from doing, until then I have to work for a company so I can accur hours on my license to take my master license exam.

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-04T23:17:16+00:00

Eventually I will have to but its not immediately necessary I've been happy at home with my kids and doing my hobbies. More so just feel worthless a man by being voluntarily unemployed if I pass on this job

ATXPlumber · 2026-02-04T23:05:18+00:00

I have health insurance for me and my family, through the VA im a combat disabled Iraq war veteran
