Leaving IUOE apprentice

I’ve been really excited and motivated to start this journey, awesome pay, great benefits. But I’ve come to realize that, that’s about it. They only pro this job has is the pay is FAT. But work/life balance is awful and I’m finding myself working my self down. I’m all about hard work but I’m more about experiencing what life has to offer and spending time with family and friends.

Cons about this job(from my experience so far) is that you rarely know your schedule if you’re working 10s or 12s or working weekends. And they won’t tell you you’re working the weekend until Friday day before. I also miss working with my hands and getting somewhat of a “workout” everyday. I can’t just sit all day I feel fat already.

Bottom line is if I were to leave how would be the best way to go about it, I don’t wanna just walk off site and never come back, I’m not that guy.
