I'm almost done with a 2 year energy technology certificate, and honestly, I don't like it. I started out thinking might as well just pick something in this field like a power plant worker, lineman, or welder, and while that'd be great, it's fucking hard and I just want to get a damn career so I can start living. I don't want to be at the bottom of the totem pole my whole life and have to be the best of the best just to get paid more, like a welder. I'm starting to rethink this whole blue collar thing. It sounds rewarding, but it also sounds like I'll be a slave for most of my life before it pays off. I want to enjoy the finer things in life while I'm young.

What exactly would you do to make you so much more money? I like being HVAC, but I don't expect work to be my passion, or give me emotional fulfillment. It's a fucking job, a job that pays decently, let's me work with my hands, and feels good to do some real work in the world instead of typing on a computer all day. It is sometimes cold, and sometimes hot, but I am not a baby who has to have things exactly right all the time or else something is wrong with life.

>finer things in life
Such as? Maybe I'm missing something, but I've never considered 'more' or 'better' to be qualifiers for happiness. I have a nice place to live, a good car, good friends, a decent computer, bills paid, some spending money, some money saved. I don't see how a better car, better computer, better this, more of that, will change anything about my general temperament.

Your head is filled with desires and grandiose ideas of self-importance and demands of the world to suit what you want out of it. You're heading down a path of disillusionment and misery. Just who do you think you are, to get these things you want for nothing? Are you white? It seems to be a common complex in my fellow white men these days.
