I enjoy my work. However, there is no more advancement unless I go back to school. In 10 yrs I will cap out at $30 an hour. In 2 yrs if I went back to school can easily make $30 an hour or more. Hours are chaotic work all 3 shifts. Limited job opportunities or opportunities near by pay low. Travel about 400 Miles a week for work.
Idk enjoy the work I do, like the people I work with, and appreciative I have a job.
Based on what you're saying in the OP, it doesn't necessarily sound like you lack drive. It sounds like there are limited opportunities where you work, and in the region where you live. Is that an accurate assessment?
If so, is there anything holding you back from re-locating to a better job market or company with more prospects?
