Welp, I'm applying. It would be nice not to have to take work home and actually see my efforts amount to some completed project. I doubt anyone will want to take a chance on me, the have got to be millions of more qualified people to pick from. But maybe I'll get lucky and someone will offer me an opportunity. Being union would fit nice into my politics too, as a very small bonus.
Most people are pussies. They don't even bother trying.
You're dealt the hand you're dealt, you don't get to pick your cards. You do get to pick how you play them.
Don't apply once. Apply to every job in the united states as many times as you can until you're hired.

Jesus they pay people $30 an hour to learn electrical work? I really am getting fucked aren't I?
Goddamn it Rayce. I'm already starting to get old, and young guns have been out earning me by this much the whole time? I never looked into it I guess, since a plumber's apprentice made like $14 an hour last time I was doing that in 07. I made more working in a warehouse.
Yes but warehouse monkey tops out at 16 or 20. Master plumber is around 6 figures if you put the hours in.

I'm trying my best! This is the best job with the most pay I've ever had.
You're right though, I'm a fucking loser. Maybe I just want to win at something for the first time in a long while. Is that pathetic? Probably. Probably most of my posts look that way to most people here.
Look, if someone wanted to pay me enough to support my family to learn something else and get good at it, I'd jump on it in a hot second. If I thought sucking dick would get me $4000 a month, I would do it with a smile.
Why bother? Shit, why not? It'll be a vacation I'd nothing else. I'm not a great fighter, but this would be fun.
I am going to keep training and getting better! I'm pushing my fitness levels to better than when I was a skinny-fat lazy fighter, and this is also getting me back into fight gyms. I'm sure I can work something out with the local trainers out here.
Right now my trade is PI work, and there's a lot of room to grow and make good (like journeymen electrician) money. I'm just only a rung above the bottom of the ladder at the moment.
So in 2 years you can be in the 6 figure range if you hustle?
That's because you don't have a good job dummy and by calling that a good job you're speaking fluent "loser". You seem like a smart guy. Smart guys should scoff at $400 bucks a month for health care for their family.
