All that matters is a good manager who has your back. I’ve only quit managers, never jobs. Also the most overworked I’ve ever been in my life was working minimum wage… I felt like an actual slave. The more money I make the more relaxed my job somehow is. I don’t want to doxx myself since I have a pretty niche job (this helps a lot btw. Especially trades or semi-engineering jobs) which can narrow me down a lot.

Find something you’re interested in, and try to line that up with demand that’s consistent for years or decades. Anything involving maintaining critical infrastructure, repair, fixing stuff, estimating, helping people do those things. That’s going to be pretty crucial as our society enters old age. Our infrastructure is at the end of its life and we’re out of debt capacity… That means we start prioritizing things that are critical and diverting funds away from “repair/replace all bridges” to “repair/replace only the bridges that would paralyze the nation of they were missing” which is cheaper.
