Re: Encouragement that isn't.

I'm not OP. I have a job. I like my job.

I am just incredibly fucking sick of hearing people say "oh, just go get [jobs similar to mine]" like you can wave a magical wand and suddenly be a skilled tradesperson. It's not actually easy.

You need money for courses. You need to be able to support yourself while you take those courses. You need to be able to find an apprenticeship/learning placement. It's a hell of a lot of hard work, and not actually great advice for someone who's flopping around with no idea what they want to do in life.

You don't go into a trade because you want to do something that's a step up the ladder from unskilled positions, you go into a trade because you want to go into that trade. If you don't understand that, then no, you don't have a realistic understanding of either the job market or life as a grown up.
