| "if you think there aren't bad bosses in the trades" I never said that. "My grandfather died of cancer he got from working in a steel mill, my dad has bad knees from working as a laborer (now an electrician.)" Yeah, you can get diseases working in an office, or higher risk of cardiovascular events and cancers from being sedentary. "He worked his life away to provide a better life for me." Sounds emotional and possibly a source of bias being that you don't want cognitive dissonance if the life really isn't any better. "It's not about being "better." or elitism - It's just simple - cost/benefit analysis." Yet I see none of that here. "I remember when I was less mature," Thanks, really love all the backhanded insults and belittling. I bet I'm older than you (neither of us is mature based on this exchange). It's pretty shitty of you to assume my current salary is over $90k. Plenty of trades can earn that or more and not be sedentary. |
You need to focus on what makes you happy. I don't want to dissuade you. But think long and hard about the change. Grass isn't always greener. But it can be. It may work out, it may not. The point is, it isn't a slam dunk.
Best of luck!
