Antiwork

Not a rant, advice and ideas wanted.

I work at a high(er) paying steel mill. 26 an hour in a rural mid western area. I've quit here once and it was awesome but I'm back now after several years. This plant has an “only 2 chances” thing and I'm on number 2. 12 hour shifts, 3 on 4 off 4 on 3 off. It's been a solid safety net, the thing is I hate it here. I'm a soulless husk of a person and stuck on night shift into the unforeseeable future. I have no debt, only utilities, insurance and phone bills but I have a family. I gotta get out of here but I don't know what to do. I'm at a loss and manic most days. Any and all suggestions welcome. Except an hero. Not on the table for me. My ideal work is 30 hours a week, 600 bucks a week.
