Trying to start a career.

Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity

So I got fired from a construction job despite the fact I have many years of experience and certifications under my belt and it doesn't apparently matter one bit cause I've tried working in construction for the better part of a decade. I'm 27 i have either only had two occupations in my life construction worker or restaurant worker. I'm completely sick of both. Both have high turnover and lack job security. On one hand construction has way better pay and has career growth while restaurant jobs are really only good if your sick of traveling for work. I just feel like I wasted my life trying to fit somewhere I dont belong that being either construction or food service. I would like it if jobs actually gave me a chance. The job economy is horrid now. I just feel like jobs really dont want to hire rn. I'm employed atm but im looking for a second job because im using my savings to keep myself afloat. Just kinda here to get any sorta advice. Maybe try a new career path that isn't demoralizing and pays decent.
