Ive been having a career crisis and dont really know where to

18 an hour as a house keeper? Lmao.. Dude i make 11 an hour to remodel houses..i LOVE the days i get payed to clean.. But anyway.. Start your own business. Thats my plan..the way i figure, 4 yrs in college, or 4 years in a trade.. But the trade needs startup money. Trust me, good work is hard to find

You're...well, you're not really in all that bad of a position. 18 a hour for housekeeping sounds actually pretty comfy. Listen to a podcast, audiobook, or some chill music while working in probably a mid-high class house. Is it that bad?

I would love to go to uni for criminology and be a police officer or go for registered nursing. But as im already 23 to me its a bad move to start my career when im thirty, financially. A trade is 2 years of school max, and apprenticeships pay well. Also 18 an hour isnt great here in ontario.

Its not bad by any means next year ill get my last raise as were unionized and ill be at 20 an hour. But then im still only making 40k a year before taxes. Pretty hard to afford a house anytime soon here on that in our fucked up canadian housing market rn.

Ok.. Granted, an hourly wage depends on the area.. Im in texas, and you can get a house for 130k..but you gotta remember, somebody is making money off your work.. So your own business pays better.. But you also have to do more work, stuff your not doing now.. Im 27, and just getting my life together.. I will do a night class a semster soon.. And age is nothing in college.. Ive been before, and people in their 30s and 40s, evem 50s and 60s is not uncommon.. You would fit right in..

>>18313724
Just remember, you have to support yourself thru college.. If college is your dream, keep the job and start night classes.. For me, its a backup plan, and own business is higher priority

Ever thought about going to firefighter school
>2.5 years of school
> starting pay at 32k with full benefits
> One day on 3 days off
> Save lives on a weekly basis
> consistent raises

not a bad gig

The college part would be fine. Itd just be getting a whole new job at 30. And yeah 3 bedroom houses in ontario are averaging 400k. Its mental

>>18313757
I havent! Ill read into it. Ive thought as volunteer firefighter as a side gig though.

>>18313753
Yeah thats the hard part. I already work 60 hour weeks and i have no time to do anything.

Bump for career guidance

Trade most likely your best bet

>>18313724
I recommend registered nursing, currently got 1 year left and thanks to the practices i have several oppurtunities already lined up for when i graduate.

Really varied and interesting work to boot, challenging in a good way and can also set you on the path of self-improvement and introspection.

And regarding your age, i was 23 when i started this education, it's never too late.
This field also nets you a benefit for being newly educated due to how fresh nurses often are prioritized in hiring.

This is coming from a Norwegians perspective mind you.

Jesus chrsit! 400k!! But thats also why you get a higher wage, i guess.. And i also work around 60 a week..7:30-7, 6 days a week.. Plus chores on sunday.. But they have late classes here.. I wanna say the latest one is 8pm or so.. But it also only 2 days a week. So say 8-9:30 2 days a week, plus homework.. Its doable, but not easy.. Its sitting down anyway. And in the later classes, its more people like us. Just off work, and usually still in work cloths. If you can do one class a semseter, you at least get your foot in the door.. And a career change at 30 is not unheard of. Its good in a way, some people hate people that went to college after high school, then get a nice job. Because they have no work experience, and have no idea what they are doing.. I work for a lot of well paid engineers, that cant do anything on their house. So when i become an engineer, i have an advantage over a lot of them.. You should start college asap, but start small.. You can always just stop showing up if you dont like.. Its not high school, you get some freedom.. At least talk to a counselor there. Clases start here aug 27, so now is the time to start for me.. I think yall are earlier up there, but you still have time..
