I am a trim cutter at an RV factory. I wake up at 3:45 AM and usually get home around noon. It's rough sometimes, very physical, and occasionally mentally stimulating. I've heard so many tell me, why don't I pick a vocation instead of this?
Frankly: music, botany, history or whatever hobbies I have that I have competency and drive to do will never pay as well, and if you find me a stable job that gets off with 6 hours of daylight after I'll reconsider my options.
Sometimes, a job is just a job and that's okay. Not every job has to be your LIFE PASSION and I think it's unhealthy to be endlessly pursuing that "Perfect" job, because at the end of the day, you are only going to be unhappier with your current situation and spending your free time trying to find that job unicorn instead of enjoying the time you have.
Do the ugly, well-paying job so that you have the $$$ and benefits to enjoy your free time!
