At a loss
31 and made the switch to plumbing one year ago. Plumbing has taught me a lot and given a ton of confidence. Before plumbing, I was an elementary teacher. I thoroughly enjoy the construction side of things and I’m already making money than I was teaching. I just don’t see myself doing this for the next 30 years, unfortunately. I feel like a loser and like I’ve wasted my life. It sucks. Idk what to do. I would love to break into the PM side of construction as I really enjoy being on larger sites, but most of my applications have been denied for entry-level positions like PE/FE.
Do I pivot back to teaching..? Try and go back for a master’s in something completely unrelated? I just don’t know what to do. I don’t need to love my job but being able to bear it would be nice.
