Any advice for a career?
22 (m)
I live in upstate New York and I have no idea what career path I want to take
All my life I have worked blue collar jobs whether it was laboring or landscaping I have always been blue collar.so I eventually had the opportunity to go be a union heavy equipment operator and I was for about 3 months and I didn’t like it as there was a 1 hour commute to westchester everyday and I hated how you could be on a job working 5-8s then get laid off one day and be on a new job working 7-12s the next day.so with that being said I stepped away from it
I do work currently at a construction company and I work in the warehouse driving trucks or receiving things in and I don’t like it at all as there is little to no purpose with this job and the pay is bad
I also work at a farm caring for rescue animals in my free time I do love doing that because I’ve always been an animal lover..yes I have looked into jobs that work with animals and almost all of them require me to go to college and the whole reason I picked blue collar was because I hated school
Now here I am just asking for opinions or advice as I feel lost and have no clue what to do
