I'm in that dilema. The current job I have is terrible, the only thing that's good about it is the pay. The hours sucks, the overtime sucks, the coworkers sucks. Everyone do the minimum and just enough not to get fired. Even when they're fired, they sue and get rehired back. There are people working there who has been fired 3 times lol. Ain't union great?
Anyway, I listen to Dave Ramsey and read several of his recommended books and it's said over and over you should pursue something you love doing instead of a high paycheck. That way, you don't have "thank god it's friday, oh god it's monday" everytime you go to work.
The thing is that i'm not even sure what I like to do will even make money. Why leave a current job making 70k+ year without overtime and pursue something that you're lucky to make $25k?
Not only that, with the current job I'm guaranteed a pension and health benefit.
And what if I want to get married and have kids one day? I can't live on $25k a year.
My hobby is cars. I love fixing them and modding/turboing them. I have little experience with them though and have little tools. I guess I should go to a technical school, apply for a dealership and change oil and in the meantime pick up experience? It sound absolutely retarded because i'm starting from scratch. How much do mechanic make at the dealership anyway?
