You have to wake up at 7am and get ready, then sit in traffic, then you get lunch which is usually unpaid, then you have to sit in traffic on the way home

You get paid for 8 hours but must devote 10.5+ hours a day to work

I don't know here you are but here in Alberta the trades are fucked, there was a 2 week training class as a PREREQUISITE TO APPLYING at the carpenters union and it got 1000's of resumes

Stop being a bitch nigga

You complain about not being qualified for anything and then want to drop out, are you a retard?

As somebody who's been working dead end jobs for 10 years and wants to go university at age 25 you don't know how good school is compared to working shit jobs
