I work for a living doing HVAC work, and the time is coming close where I am almost done my trade and ready to get my ticket. The thing is, I look at this job as something to fall back on. I don't mind doing it one bit, and if I must, I will do it for the rest of my life until the day I die. The job i'm working has some security involved in it(I can find jobs easily, next day or within days usually), but the construction industry is never stable. My work is all hard labour and long hours. Those long hours mean I get to make a very good living doing what I do, but the typical work week for me is roughly 50+ hours(usually around the 60 mark).
Being a former high school drop out, I worked only a handful of lower end jobs until I apprenticed in a trade. My education, or lack of for that matter(still have my high school diploma though), has helped me get this far in life, and I am looking to get farther ahead. Some time soon, I will be upgrading my less desirable courses from high school, and plan to go to university if everything works out. The only thing I know is I don't want o do this type of work for the rest of my life.
I am not lazy by any means, and will work my way up the totem pole. I am looking for an office setting where I just go to one fixed location every day and every day will be relatively predictable. I just want to hit that 100k a year mark without having to spend an entire year working 7 days a week for it. I know it takes time to get up there, but that is my goal. Can anyone recommend a job that will put me in an office making that type of cash? Since I will be upgrading alot of courses, it leaves just about anything up in the air.
