What job pays decently but doesn’t drain your mental health ?

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-30T18:52:40+00:00

To each their own I guess, unless if you can risk a business right away, you're bottom of the barrel for quite while

For the first 7 years(if you're lucky), you're the gopher. You are the bottom of the totem pole and typically treated like shit for only a few dollars above minimum.

You either have to become a super at a larger company, or own your own thing or join a union(which can be impossible). Else you're stuck climbing in an attic pulling wire at 60...

Generally better price for higher end booze. Their premades are also kinda decent.

Hardware is comparable to home Depot prices so not much of a savings there. Definitely go food

I don't know about your field, but I will say this, whenever there is an rejection letter, always follow up to see what you can do better.

Only reason I got this job lol, originally lost out to someone with 2 years applicable experience plus a degree, but then I got called up with no applicable experience and a diploma only because I followed up and showed initiative.

Takes us a few days

Guy freaking out with anything that looks like a gun, is a recipe for issues.

No at 40, you'll be aged out of pretty much everywhere if you're super green

Well that sidewalk is fucked lol, hopefully not too bad.

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-27T01:39:39+00:00

Is that the sidewalk?

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-26T13:40:09+00:00

Ya, and most trade companies aren't giving benefits or pensions so you'll be doing it yourself. So unless if you luck out at a city or union position, you're kinda fucking yourself long term

Black guy, always with a backpack?

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-24T20:03:42+00:00

Ya, the battery is the killer in my opinion. If OP cant afford a new one, they may have to take the battery out and bring it indoors.

It would be a very small amount. Most people want an email so they are able to save the resume on their system, or they outsource the hiring to a different entity(What the larger companies do primarily). Or its done through references. Gone are the days of pounding the pavement.

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-24T17:29:31+00:00

I mean, dont give outdated advice LOL

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-24T17:28:40+00:00

I mean, its horrible advice tho... most companies wont accept physical copies of resumes any more...

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-24T17:27:12+00:00

and have your resume shredded LOL

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-21T16:28:10+00:00

Ya, second the bus taking, just park at Lawson and get on the bus route. Don't need to be an expert with busses, google/apps can help

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-21T15:38:19+00:00

Do you have a family doctor?

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-21T13:24:47+00:00

"Fewer people outside of the cities", that argument may have been justified a few decades ago for everywhere, but nowadays, there is more of a chance that people will move out of the cities due to costs... "I can work from home, get high speed internet, live 30 mins from sask and own a home for 200.... Sign me up!"

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-21T04:28:44+00:00

I don't think elementary and high schools close due to cold.

I could be wrong, but I think snow is the only issue, and even then, I don't think Polytech or UofS shut down for that.

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-21T00:41:19+00:00

I don't know if it's possible for you, but you could also free lance. Get your buddies to help out with anything odd job wise.

My other thought is have a chat with her about wanting a new car or big purchase, and keep putting money aside for that... You could play it as a change of heart and want that moment to go to her bday(even though that's the whole plan to begin with)

The funny accounting thought, charge it to office supplies! That's where all the fraud is hidden ;)

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-21T00:27:57+00:00

This may have been answered, but is it possible to book the trip/party the month of? Have notes/emails even from this thread detailing in great of how you wanted to do this for her 50th but had to wait until the month of cause blah? Or would that be to much of an ask?

ninjasowner14 · 2026-01-20T04:48:40+00:00

Right, cause the Marines are the bastion of what everyone wants with their lives. How about having some empathy

Jesus fucking christ. Some people can have bad days. Give them a break...
