Skilled laborers will always make more cash than unskilled a singles, this is just a fact of life.
- I think that grocery store stockboys were called “essential workers” while I was in the pandemic, however every one of us all think that’s a load of crap, right? Stocking shelves is unskilled labor, meaning anyone can do it with virtually no training at all.
I am not trying to insult people who work in grocery stores, I am just trying to illustrate a point. If you want to keep earning minimum wage forever, then stick with stocking the shelves. If you want a real career, with a opportunity at advancement plus retirement, you need to learn a skill, care about plumbing, roofing, or HVAC repair, for several years I was the director of a video store. Remember video stores? I did that for years, plus then the entire industry just vanished! If I had an HVAC certification I would never have to worry about being out of work, and unlike movie rentals, heating plus cooling systems are essential facets of modern mankind plus will never go away. The certified proof that I have the skills to repair or install HVAC component can get myself and others a job in any state of the country, or around the world! HVAC systems are complex, delicate, plus require an experienced hand. I only wish I hadn’t spent so long in the movie rental business! Take my advice plus start researching a trade skill care about HVAC work, plumbing, or electrical work. The long-term job security of the HVAC industry means I will have a long plus prosperous career.
