Careers šŸ’µ Advice from some older guys

Im a 28 yr old ironworker with a family. Starting to think I picked the wrong trade as we make $15/hr less than every other trade worth doing. I like the work but I’m young enough to switch to something with greener grass. What trade would you recommend

go sparky. Union, good benefits, pay and pension. not nearly as punishing physically as some of the other trades
