    Maybe change careers? My job will end soon and I’m looking for something more stable and values-aligned rather than exciting. I figure people need houses -Any structural engineers want to chime in on how to get into that work late?

      I’m getting more interested in my core engineering physics understanding, such as electromagnetics and thermodynamics. I’m not sure how to “get into” that though, because every job I’ve seen requires over 5+ years of experience.

      I think jobs like HVAC, electrician, plumbing, construction are all going to be increasingly more important. And I think career change is the only way to survive.

      I heard you can stay there forever, they only remove you if they find you. I’m an expert at hide and seek.

      they’ll never find me.

    No special plan. Working in public service, I am sure there will always be things to do for me, so I don’t worry.

    The same thing we do every recession, Pinky. Try to spend as little as possible on only the essentials and hope we don’t end up homeless.

    Push more of my customers to prepay or to 3rd party financing.

    To be honest my industry has been in a recession for 3 years already. A global recession that cuts the costs of inputs would be awesome.

    For those looking for more stable jobs, look into healthcare. Even short credential programs can result in livable wage jobs like LPN nursing or technician roles. The work may not be glamorous, but they’re stable. If it’s in the realm of possibility an associates or bachelor’s degree in nursing is even better

      pharm tech, if you need a better than min wage job, and doesnt require any schooling you can study on your own and take the test before the national test. not reccommend you spend time and money for a CC school or a state university(at our state they have 2-3month program accelerated but quite pricey at 1500$) the CC is much longer, 9months(cheaper but its praticallya year). you can do it cheaper (you just need to do all the legwork yourself, search on the subs they have the best info for this.

      another is rad technologist, 2 years of schooling but you need to have prereqs(which can be done within 1 year). 2 paths: CC which has pretty horrible wait list times, not reccommended unless you planning to wait years. other is paying a university program upfront (expensive but not as expensive as a degree) and i heard people make back all the money back once they get the job after 2 year program(estimated cost for private uni program 30-60k for the whole thing), but the salary is quite high for not requiring a full degree. only stipulation is you would be studying for 2 years and might not be feasible if you work full time.

      yea Full nurses can make 70-144+/hr as travelling nurses(depends on where you are) a coworker told me her cousins are nurses. it requires alot of schooling though.

    Stable government job with a good salary is nice. I live with my parents and I’m saving up to get something on my own so expenses are very low.

    Fortunate position so I think I will be okay.
