    It’s actually more like assembly line work, but with some applied engineering knowledge because you’re sometimes needing to solder stuff, correct physical defects and program machines. At one point I was thinking to jump ship and become a licensed electrician, but it’s hard to make time to do that without a certain payout.

    My original issue was with the whole " food is cheaper than ever**" * only if you assume that everyone’s wages have uniformly gone up 50% in 10 years across the whole country

      You may qualify for some financial assistance for the education process. Also, a lot of employers offer tuition reimbursement. It’s getting harder and harder to find skilled laborers, so don’t sell yourself short.
