  I would but it requires going through certification where I live. That means defaulting on my mortgage while I’m an apprentice and then several years before I get the same pay as I’m getting now.

    some trades have something called apprenticeship contract meaning you get paid while you learn

      Yeah they all have that here, but I have multiple children to feed and a mortgage to pay and i ain’t doing that on the wages id get as an apprentice.

    Ok dammit. I guess what are somethings you don’t want to do?

      Well I really don’t want to do anything to do with admin. Office work in general is terrible but administrative tasks are next to impossible.

      Trades pretty much all require an apprenticeship, which I can’t afford.

      I’d like to do something artistic or involving being outdoors, but I can’t set up a workshop because my apartment is too small.
