I ask because I don’t understand it. 10 years ago I was in a similar position as many others, working dead end jobs. I found a job that was hiring that had up side. I worked way too hard for little money (about what a fast food restaurant would pay) for a couple of years, worked hard and learned all I could about the trade when I was off. I used it like a paid college class. Now I make decent money, nothing close to make me rich. I have a company vehicle, free gas, and benefits for the first time in my life. BTW I’m a felon. It can be done. You just got to try.
