Please tell me where these "things" are, cause I've been unemployed and trying to find one of them for the past 4 months to no avail.
The only companies responding to my applications are for shitty fast food, retail, and call center jobs. I'm middle-aged and I'm so sick and tired of those gigs. I want something different that allows me to actually pay my bills on time for once.
You can find literally any industrial town desperate for workers and offering at least 20 an hour for labor jobs.
Unfortunate, but they exist everywhere. Almost every company I know out here in STL pays starting 20 for even unskilled positions. I went first responder though and the Illinois side of STL has a premium rate on that anyway. Highest average of the whole state and desperate for hires.
I find office work mind numbing, disgusting in culture, and generally unsatisfying at the end of the day both philosophically and, as a powerlifter, physically.
why not go the firefighter route? my sister's ex did that, he said that it was really rewarding.
I have friends that are, and I'm not opposed, I just enjoy what I do now
