Only thing is I lack the experience in both those. So that's what im trying to figure out.
Lol, nobody will hire you for these jobs without having experience in the business. They usually want someone who has worked on job sites and knows what the fuck they're talking about

Haha, as someone who works with contractors I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he has some experience, he just doesn't think he has enough yet. We work with estimators all the time and they are often the most experienced guys at a company. There's an art to pumping your number as high as possible but just a little lower than the next lowest.

Yeah, this is the saving grace. No matter how busy things get, everything slows down a bit for most of the Summer. In the last couple years, I was pissed about things slowing down. But this year, I'm very happy about it.

0/10. Feeling Blessed. Only thing getting to me is that I can't wait for the weather to get good again. I'm feeling cooped up.

Do you think if you enjoyed what you did you would be burning out? hell no. You'd be bathing it's glory, sucking everything up like a dry sponge coming into contact with liquid for the first time.
Too much reality here. Damn

Pretty sure you can escape if you want because you have no dependents. Corporate drones who are providing for a family are stuck but you are a single guy so you can leave. Plus you can prob have your parents support you with housing and/or loans while you figure out next steps.
Onlyfans doesn’t count as a business
