I’ll never go back to the trades
I’ve been working installing solar panels and construction for the past 25 years. Before the summer, I quit my job because being on the roof all summer along and waking up at 4 o’clock in the morning to drive all over the place was killing me. I got a job bartending at a bar on the beach. I made really good money installing solar panels, but make quite a bit more bartending, working about half as much as I did doing solar. My life has completely changed and I’ll never go back to the trades.
