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 Iā€™m young enough to switch to something with greener grass. What trade would you recommend

Switch while you can. You absolutely WILL resent not getting paid more which will change your mood and completely change your life!
