Save up and do it. Fencing pays peanuts though. I'd stick to the decking. If you're with some shitty handyman type GC find a different company. A professional one where you can actually pick up a skillset

>>136082939
You planning on sticking with the manual labor?

Ship deck officer. Surprised its not mentioned more often here.
>travel a lot to countries both decent and shit.
>good wages without income tax since so much time out of country

What would you categorize the job or career under so I can add it in the future?

When I was about to graduate from undergrad I had an offer from BP to operate as a sample analyst on oil well finding ships. Would have been a cool gig as they paid for basically everything for me to live in England and company car while being at sea for six months out of the year. I never took it because I wanted to get started into gradschool asap to get it out of the way.

Transportation I'd say. Yeah most of he momey is in tankers though somewhat difficult to get into atm with the slump. It's likely to pick up again within the next few years so i wouldn't worry.

Medical school or Nurse Practitioner? I was gonna do PA but tired PA redpilled me on his job and told me to go to nursing school or medical school.

Hello - Unlike 50% of this community, I'd like to see all of you succeed and sympathize deeply with the struggle that is the modern day american service based economy.

I will tell you how I made it to where I am when at age 23 I felt like I had no hope as I had no college degree..no skills..nothing.

Here is what you need to do if you find yourself in that situation (this includes people with a worhtless college degree)

Get into the Technology industry:

The barrier for entry is a few certifications. All of which you can pass using online educational content.

Once you are in the entry level job do the following:

Work tirelessly at understanding either how the technology works or how the company makes money.

Learn how to make yourself the most valuable employee in your department.

Help everyone possible..especially people in other departments.

Look at other peoples posistion and make it your goal to be in that position within the next two years.

MOST IMPORTANTLY - ***DRESS IMPECCABLY WELL, NO MATTER WHAT POSITION YOU ARE IN ***

BUY BUTTON DOWNS, TUCK YOUR FUCKING PANTS IN, AND WHERE A BELT.

Half the reason I got to where I am from an entry level posistion to making 50k a year with 10k in commission is because i was noticed by others based on the way i appeared.

Second most important is to HELP EVERYONE AND ANYONE...You will make yourself valuable to a point where if you tell your company you are leaving for another job they will want to keep you and give you a raise.

Your welcome.

What are you tucking your pants into?

>>136087163
Sorry - Tuck your shirt into your pants**

I am trying to be of genuine help and you go and pick on me for a typo. God damnit Anon

Telecommunications Engineer here, this anon is right. After my junior year I dropped out of college and got my WCET. Five years later I'm making 90k/yr designing cellular networks for a fortune 500 company.

While in college I started bouncing on the weekends to make extra cash, and to be able to still hang out at bars and hit on chicks. Moved from.bouncing to barback and now I'm bartending three nights a week. I make about 20k/yr in reported income from it, easily twice that including tips.

Lot of work, so my little free time is basically spent at the gym or with the gf, but with the cost of living in Idaho as low as it is I live like a goddamn king.

People with questions about the telecommunications or nightlife industries feel free to ask.

I don't know man, I see fashion threads on here occasionally that lead me to believe that it may have become fashionable to tuck your pants into your socks or some such shit.

Business owner and former head of service company division here. This anon is spot on.

Make yourself too valuable not to promote.
