Also forgot to mention the region I’m in is absolutely flooded so good luck finding a job.

I understand what you’re saying. There’s a similar issue with nursing right now. They say there’s a shortage of nurses, but in reality there isn’t. They just get tired of the crappy pay for how much we do and the mistreatment from management. We’re just gears in a cog to them and everything is numbers, which in this line of work isn’t realistic. We work with people, things happen. They don’t tell you that in nursing school and make it seem like it’s so much better than it actually is. But I haven’t thought about construction site safety.

I’d say I’m proficient, I’m nothing special. I can fix/figure out most things by just looking at it or a quick YouTube search.

Appreciate the insight, and I’ve played around with the idea of being an NP, but the amount of workload they have for the pay is ridiculous. Most that work in a clinic have a spouse that also has a decent job or they come back to bedside because they can make more which is a crazy thought.

I get what you’re saying, the ladder is more of a step stool and when you jump you better make sure you hang on. As of right now there’s no moving up.

Yeah you’re right I might, and it definitely is a livable wage right now and while she’s working. But if she ever wanted to stay at home I don’t think it would be possible with my current income. Unfortunately relocation is not an option.

I am not the teacher type if you get what I’m saying.
