I know this is out of my usual posting but listen.
Trade schools and apprenticeships are both unionized and pay extremely well.
Electricians make six figures once they’re fully certified. My uncle has been an electrician for 30 years and owns a Tesla. He’s traveled to more countries than I can count. His son not only had a really nice wedding, but also bought a house as only an apprentice electrician. He wasn’t even a journeyman yet.
Trade services are in extremely high demand, therefore you always have job security.
“Blue collar” does not automatically mean poor.
The right places, depending on the job, will accept work experience in lieu of a degree. An excellent example is administrative work.
You have options. You have choices. You have hope.
We at Bright Side have been busy looking for the best tips and tricks to simplify and improve your everyday life. Here’s an awesome list of 7 life hacks that will help you.
Fall in love with ordinary. Fall in love with the everyday. Fall in love with brown eyes and small towns and a hand full of dandelions. Discover. Discover the crevices. Read the books that aren’t so popular, by little known authors who have a lot to offer. Listen to music that makes you think. Choose art that is buried in the corner of galleries, or on the street.
Teach yourself to love the small things. The special but unnoticed things. Teach yourself how the ordinary is not so ordinary after all.
So, I’m getting near my sweet 600… is that a thing? No? Too bad! And I decided to do a celebration <3 I’ve never done one before. I asked a few weeks back, and mostly got responses that folk just weren’t interested in a Marvel Merch give-a-away, so, I’m going to do this…
Reblog this post by June 10th for a chance to win:
a fic by moi (any Marvel pairing, style, trope, etc.)
a personal thank you card (if you’re willing to provide a P.O. Box / mailing address)
and I’ll pay up to $15 for a commission from an artist of your choosing (assuming they are accepting commissions at that time, of course)
Rules? Pretty easy, just follow and reblog <3 I’m also mia_a03 on ao3, drop by and say hello!
