I don't understand why you aren't making 100k+ welding in some oil field to save up for your shop.

MHPS is a great company to work for but I am too weird to have a real job.

Then you should probably get used to being broke and in debt for the rest of your life.

Yeah real jobs suck, but what are you gonna do? We're all a slave to the money, if you can find a job that you can TOLERATE you're gonna be ok. Sounds like you can tolerate this one, you should just keep at it and eventually your body/mind/existence will get acclimated to the grind.

Besides, not all alternative/creative jobs are that great. I made a living as a photographer for three years and it turned out to be like every other job with the same bullshit (sometimes even worse), and I was spending way too much time on my "passion" which equated to making poo poo money. YMMV.

He doesn't even have to move to Australia or Canada/North Dakota. If he moved to the Houston area there are plenty of oilfield welding jobs. Granted, Houston's probably not much of an upgrade, if it even is, to South/Central Florida.

Not exactly. We were more like:

"*As long as you have enough savings to do so, along with a good fall-back plan and stability to act as a safety net. Also, build up contacts first while building said safety net."

I think you should just weld some poo poo in your backyard and sell it on the internets as a side business.

You should use your powers for good and find map him an abandoned shop full of equipment, good management, and slave labor. Oh, and somebody who likes to setup eCommerce sites.

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

Sorry UF but it's time to grow the gently caress up. Whether you think it or not you've got a good thing going right now; throwing it all away because you're a hipster fuckhead too special/creative/whatever is the stupidest thing you could do.

Besides, even by your own admission you came to hate working for literally every shop for you've worked for...why would you think this hypothetical "next time" will be any different?
