I’ve been doing security for awhile now and getting tired and sick of it. I was planning on doing corrections, or police down the line but I won’t be able to due to medical reasons. (Depression in the past) I was let go by Canadian Military do to it during my boot camp. I wanna get into trades but heard it’s so hard if you don’t know the right people, but I have a strong interest in it. Currently only making $22hr , which isn’t enough for me either. If I started trades, or got into oil and gas (I’m in Alberta) or stuff like that, it would take 3-4 years+ to get to a journeyman type of level…. I would be 30 by that time. Which makes me feel old because everyone else around me has a meaningful career. submitted by /u/garsfrancaislocal
