Some background of me. With timeline. Basically you want a career that does not become obsolete & some degree of security & pay advances. Starting with me from High School Age 17-18. Gardener cutting lawns. BIG money for a student😊🤑 Also worked at Century / Cinemark movie theaters (minimum wage) Age 18 thru 28 - Costco Wholesale 10 year anniversary then quit.lol 😮 Age 27 bought house. (Bank said if I change career, would not qualify for loan as 1+ years of same employment / employer to qualify. After loan approval, & house purchase➡ quit Costco. Age 28 Start Union plumber apprenticeship. Age 33 Journeyman level $$$$ plumber with contract advances. Current 52 purchase 2nd for rental income. (Current goal) not a big rush. Most careers require some timeline of training. Others will be obsolete some day. (Think grocery checker -vs- self check out. OR Uber driver UPS driver -vs- drone delivery & driverless cars. Lol😮😂😮😂

@@JRAV575 ya, It's just crazy. You kinda trust your co-workers to make the right decisions, and they don't. Drugs, suicide. Etc. And they don't call you when they need to. Very upsetting to me.

@JRAV5752 ай бұрын
Well I suppose it depends on how much capital you have to invest in yourself, I do recommend paying for a quality course or education in some capacity because it takes out the guess work and collapses the time it’ll take you to figure out what’s most important to learn plus it’s broken up into more digestible bits instead of looking at everything and feeling overwhelmed. I’m actually doing a course on course careers now so maybe look into that and if that’ll help you I can give you my referral link to save you some money and I get commission also.
