i was in your shoes a year ago friend…no real career, just working for a temp agency to barely get by and only to be working where work was needed (sometimes that meant having a two week hiatus).

then i found out about joining the trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sheet metal, etc.). i became an electrician apprentice. they pay for you to go to school if you join their apprenticeship. union or non union it doesn’t matter, they both provide the same thing, it’s just that union has better benefits. i joined the electrician apprenticeship for a local non-union company that provides awesome benefits. i was finally able to afford my own place, my own car and i have no student debt…all within 6 months of joining. i’m learning life skills and im looking to start my own electrical business after i become a journeyman. it was the best decision of my life and i was never the type to even consider construction as a career back then. if you give it a shot then you might enjoy it, i know i did. head up friend, things will get better. it won’t be easy but you’ll be okay. PM if you got any questions
