Tree service groundman. Moving brush and wood to the chipper all day. Very physical work, and easy to find a job because very few people want to do it.
What about a brick masons helper hauling bricks? That could develop into a respectable career. |

Adderall eliminated my anxiety too. I've only been taking it for a few months for ADHD.

| Eventually Tesla's alternating current approach triumphed over Edison's use of direct current as it must. Transmitting electrical power by A.C. is less lossy over long distance. That can be proven mathematically. The main advantage is that AC voltage can be changed with transformers. Jack it up for... |

| The certificate will likely help you get a job. I took several community college landscape classes and they were full of people that worked in the field. The classes forced me to learn things I probably wouldn't have learned on the job like scientific names and characteristics of plants, and pestici... |

Sounds like you have a good thing going.  Plenty of office workers work long hours and get divorced too. Everybody dies. Like the others said if you save as much money as you can and you'll have options later. |

| My AS 9 year old has a retainer to keep him from sucking his thumb. After he got the retainer It still took many reminders to get him to stop. The orthodontist said he was going to deform the roof of his mouth if he didn't quit. He also bites the collar and cuffs of his shirts. |
