I was absolutely addicted to this game back in the day. Even after all these years, I still think DRIVER had some of the best car chases ever made. The drifts you could pull off around corners were insanely addictive, and the chases were actually pretty challenging, which made them so much fun. Honestly thinking about buying a PS2 just so I can play it again 😂
What do you think? Had you ever play this game?
Hey everyone,
I’m 39 and I’ve recently started a plumbing program here in Quebec. I’ve got a wife and three kids, so I’m trying to make a smart decision for the long term rather than just pushing through something that might not be right for me.
One of my concerns is that I’ve already had surgery on my right wrist but is in a good condition and I have tendinitis in my left. I can still go to the gym and live a normal life, but repetitive work, vibration from tools and years of physical labour make me wonder if I’m setting myself up for problems later on.
I’ve only just started school and after using drills and doing some hands-on tasks I noticed a bit of discomfort in the worst with tendinitis. Nothing major, but enough to make me question things.
What confuses me is that I hear completely different stories about plumbing. Some people say it’s a fantastic trade with great pay, benefits and plenty of opportunities to move into less demanding roles. Others make it sound like your body gets destroyed and that if you go into service you’ll be working crazy hours, constantly on call.
So I wanted to ask those of you who have actually been doing this for years: is service plumbing really as bad as people say? Are 60–70 hour weeks and constantly being on call the norm, or is that more company-dependent? Is it possible to have a decent work-life balance in this trade?
Also, if you were in my shoes 39 years old, three kids, previous wrist issues but still physically capable would you keep going with plumbing, or would you seriously consider another path?
I’m not afraid of hard work, and I know no career is perfect. I just want a realistic picture from people living it every day before I commit the next 25 years of my life to this.
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate any honest opinions
