Current State Of My Life

[Dirtnasty]

So not going to sugar coat anything as I hardly ever do. But current job search has gone much worse than expected and is taking its toll more on my mental health than being single has. It’s getting to where I’m about to start applying to jobs that are $10+ dollars less an hour than my last job. It really makes me feel like shit. It’s not even the need for the money it’s knowing my value and not even getting any responses from applications. I’ve had two interviews with the last one Tuesday for a job that was way below my capabilities. They even showed me how easy the work was in th floor that I would be doing. Today they reposted that job so it’s not like they found a better candidate they just felt I along with the others was not good enough. I can’t push it in the gym to at least have something to look forward to. If not for the many friends I have made that make this world worth being in and the hope that I may find love again it would be real easy for me to call it a day right now

We're in the same boat dawg. Same boat and I got 5 kids and Christmas. Had some money set aside to fix more issues on my car now I have to pull that out. Temp agency helps a lot for high paying jobs. 22$ an hour to put bungees on a tarp. Missed that opportunity...

Shit there's a potato plant up here that would start you off at 25-27 an hour. I don't care for 12 shifts so I don't do it .. I think there rotating too. Of course this doesn't help you being in a different location and all. Fucking sucks bro. I brought home 120$ this week. Net!! I'm about to go get blitzed and check on a couple old contacts. They can drop those groceries down all they want. Rent is still high.

Yeah it’s looking like I’m probably going to either end up way under payed or on the 12 hour night shift. Friend at gym told me to apply to where he works. It would be 4 10 s night shift Sunday- Wednesday. It’s about 40 minutes away. Weird day schedule but positive even if they work two days of lt I would have Saturday Off. positive note my workout was good yesterday feeling like I’m getting back some of the muscle endurance.

I applied to the local tech school last night. If I can’t really push it powerlifting wise I may try and take some classes and get a trade certificate. Cnc machining is something I think would be good to do. Plenty of open jobs always posted and they pay pretty well to start out. Welding is also option but I can barely draw a straight line so I’m not sure if I could weld one haha

My opinion only but I believe there’s data to back me up… there’s plenty of extremely great paying jobs in the skilled trades. Welding, cnc machine operator etc etc. our local community college has great programs that put lots of folks to work. They’ve got a 2 year nursing program that puts guys/gals out as rn’s. Pass the state test and youve got a job forever.

Electrician plumber… all pretty good jobs.

Keep your head up brother and keep plugging away, it always gets worse before it gets better but there’s are brighter days ahead bro

It's never too late to get into a trade and those are all great options IMO.

Look into food delivery apps like Uber Eats. It's not glamorous but the pay is whatever you're willing to invest time wise. It helped me put food on the table a few months back when I had 3 major appliances all go at the same time and I had to deplete my savings.

Definitely hit up a trade bro.. whether welding, machine work, plumbing or something of the sort. These new age kids aren’t attracted to those jobs or fields anymore so there’s always jobs for those trades. Which works well, cause supply and demand. You’ll have a skill they need but no one wants to do and you charge what you believe you’re worth.

Also getting into nursing at any age is recommended as well. I know people who got into nursing in their 20s,30, and even early 50s.. they all love it. You can pretty much guarantee a decent salary anywhere you go.

I was incorrect the post of job again was coincidence. They offered me it today. I start the 9th. Both the phone interviews didn’t call today so I n guessing those may have been automated and the people were out of office for holidays

 

[Islandswole2]

Congrats bro! Hope it all pans out.

Good deal. Now you can get my Christmas present out of layaway.

Phone interview today not sure went the best. The job pays $4 and hour but is 40 minutes longer commute and Rotating 12’s. If they set interview up for next week I’ll at least check it out and see what the work is like but I feel like I’d be better taking less money for short drive and not do the night and day shit
