Construction worker or a Bouncer?

Yeah it's the risk factor that's holding me back. Also I think that it's a slippery slope, maybe I'll get dragged into something worse

If youre a calm guy usually, its not a big deal.
I did it for 1 and a half year without problems on weekends, never hit somebody except for maybe some throat grabbing or shit.
Had a few months break now and am doing it again on fridays since last week.

I have to say, i met my girlfriend at this job, shes the sister of my previous boss from the last club i worked at.

Before here, i always had some things going with women i met during work, so its quite enjoyable. But dont get caught making out or busting a nut during work.
Its a nice side income, although i gotta admit, with having a girlfriend its not even half as fun.

Last friday i had to decline a hot chick because i would never cheat, but damn, she woulda been my type.

Exactly.

The clubs I was usually working were full of a bunch of wiggers and wanna be gangsters. Then you get the drunk yuppy frats and young 'professionals' that think they're hot shit.

They'll get downright fucking stupid really. But they're all bitches when push comes to shove.

Most anyone that'd give you real trouble probably isn't wasting their night at a shithole juke joint getting wasted.
 
Construction all the way. Learn things that will help you down the road when you need to fix a home/remodel, put on a porch, addition, etc.

Bounce on the weekends for extra money and networking

Actually, networking is what puts me off. Im kinda afraid that I'll get mixed up with the wrong crowd
 
Just so everyone knows, construction and trades are in extreme need for workers in the future. Which means pay will continue to rise or even soar.

For every 3 people retiring only 1 person is filling that void in constructio. Companies are doing anything they can to grab and train any decent young employee. If companies do not plan ahead for this they will suffer.
If you live in an area outside of union control don't even try. Still thousands of junkies and illegals ready to work for $7-$8 an hour where I live. You could break your back and have nothing to show for it but an opioid addiction in the end.

Its actually 3euro an hour right here, and overtimes arent always paid

Ouch.
 
Neither, get into computer science, they already have prototype machines that can put up drywall..not long before they have machines take over most labor jobs but they’ll need people keeping up the software etc for the foreseeable future, plus you can make as much as a dr..
 
What's your long term plan for employment? Unless you have people that depend on you, just work the easiest job you can that allows you to maintain your standard of living while focusing on learning a skill or getting an education that you can use to find meaningful work.

As for construction, if it's something you have no interest in long term, don't do it. If you're in North America you can make great money in construction especially if you are a skilled craftsmen, but you need to be honest with yourself if you're willing or capable of doing that kind of work. This is a generational issue and you shouldn't be too hard on yourself if it's not for you. But if you apply yourself in this field and work hard you can make a killing. Some of the highest paid people I know are in this industry in various positions, obviously they have been doing it for a very long time and put in more work and improved their skills more than the average person in that field.

Learn a trade or if you want to pursue post-secondary education, study anything that involves math (engineering, science, etc). This should future proof you for the all the jobs that are going to disappear in the next 10 years (administrative jobs, insurance jobs, office jobs, call center jobs, driving jobs, etc).

As a general rule, if you're in university and the subject you're studying doesn't have you doing any math, you are probably fucking up. If it were up to me I would love to study English or something useless like that, but this is not the world we live in. Technology runs the world and math is the language of technology.

Trades are an exception to this because these jobs can not be automated and they are in high demand and they pay extremely well. Problem is most young people don't want to do hard work, they would rather sit on their fat fucking ass and wear business casual clothes 5 days a week like a monkey at a zoo and deal with passive aggressive cunt co-workers/management instead of doing meaningful work.

Think about your future, look at all the people who graduated and are unable to find meaningful work in their field, then consider how many jobs in that field they are struggling to find work in are going to disappear in the short term.

tl;dr : get into trades or go to university for a major that involves some level of math if you want a decent life for yourself. work whatever jobs you have to in the short term until you have finished your training/school.

That's a great answer thanks

Facts. We can't keep guys to help out with loading and unloading the trucks at my job. Starts out at $14/hour and the first really hot day they'll be puking and never come back.
 
Union depending where you live, When I quit fishing in AK it was hard to find a good paying job. Then I became a apprentice in the iron workers local 86 I'm journey now. Had to get out of it thou after a shoulder and a back surgery. Then I hopped in another union one easier on the body. 39.76 was rate in WA 7 or 8 Years ago higher now.ok

People that are not around construction dont realize there is stupid money to be made. Self employed or not. I'm a salary superintendent and still cant believe the salary I make without a college degree. It's all about experience and I was born into this shit.

The competition is weak and damn near the only requirement is to show up on time and work. Most just dont want to work.
 
Long term I would definitely go with construction : - pick a trade ( electrician, hvac, alarm tech ) - those where not just heavy and hard working involved , you could still do it when your joints are older ( like mine ) . Could get benefits and retire there and same time as long you feel it you can be the bouncer and weekends. ..
 
I didn't know what a union was I grew up in Podunk. If I had known I would have went straight in.I would have done electrion or plumber thou easier on the body and the usually first on last off.
