Don’t think its “technically” considered professional advice (since I’m just looking for general info), but not sure where else to turn. I have been apart of the corporate world for a while, and even though I follow all the rules, my companies consistently find ways/loopholes to screw me over.
Are there any industries or careers that are kind of easy to get into with strong union protections?
When I say “easy” I understand there will be education involved, but I already have a degree and am scared to waste more money and time (for seemingly nothing) again.
I have no desire to get rich or anything, I’m just hoping to get ideas on what I can pivot my career to so I can support myself and my loved ones without worry of the rug being pulled out from under me again.
Labor jobs! Low Voltage Technicians specifically have a great union. I’ve never been without a job for longer than a few weeks (and getting calls constantly from people wanting to hire/help me find a new job).
Labor sucks though. I would probably trade it for a desk job any day just to save my body, but id likely take a pay reduction and hate being stuck to a chair all day.
Really depends on what you want to do!
