I’m looking for some advice, I’m 23 about to turn 24. I’ve come to the conclusion I’m not going anywhere in my job and being taken advantage of completely. I started in roofing early last year and worked since with only having a single day off. Now I’m in a difficult position because I’m labeled as a labourer yet I do everything a fully qualified roofer would to a point I’m doing more work then my employer while being paid the lowest wage possible making £70 a day that’s before tax. The company has also supplied a labourer to get trained which I’m in control of which does make my job easier but i shouldn’t be doing it without getting paid more. The bosses of the company have started to trust me massively allowing me to do jobs completely alone but they have also been lying to me about the prices so I’m done with them especially after giving them my life for the past year working in any weather condition all day everyday.

I’m wanting to get into framing mainly doing the 1st fixes, I have spoke to a lot of carpenters and they said it’s great to get into but I’ve also noticed how much they get paid compared to roofing and how little manual labour you’ve got to put in compared to roofing as I lift tiles not shingles which is about 45lbs every journey and maybe do that 80-140 times just for one side of the house. With earning so little I’m still living with my parents unfortunately which I’m in arguments all the time, I have little freedom and authority. Luckily I have managed to save around 5k in cash while having some projects like a motorcycle and car that’s I’m building which is probably gonna take another 5-6k to finish but I’m in no rush. What should my next moves be?

I got offered a 2004 Ktm 250sx for $600 that’s registered, to some it’s just a old bike but this was one of my dreams bikes to build when I go into the hobby back in 2017-2018 watching a YouTuber. I’m kinda having a hard time on deciding what I should do with the bike, should I build it how I want and even if I wanted to sell it I can make small amount of profit or break even. Or get it all running again have a fun and sell it to make an easy 2k profit. I also kinda enjoy the idea of trail/enduro riding as I’ve never really experienced it before so building the bike for that would be interesting
