Non remote job. Traveling for the job. Requirements to be on evenings and weekends. Not being ok with flex hours. All these things account for alot of disruption (as well as cost) in ones life
See it makes sense for some elite jobs like corporate law or investment banking. Where ok. You have alot of growth potential. You bust your ass and you'll be rewarded.
Meanwhile others have flexibility.Like say a therapist or nutrionist can work from home. No travel/lunch cost, can have a flexible schedule to work around things, no daycare costs, more time around kids and overall
On the other hand things like being a nurse, construction worker, engineer, teacher or firefighter make no sense. They don't pay enough or have the growth potential of the former nor do they have the flexibility of the latter. Those jobs exist in this hellish middle ground where you are paid average or above but you lack any real flexibility and you don't have the growth potential
Like seriously if anyone puts some thought itno it….why would kids want to do these kinds of jobs? They offer nothing. You can't take away both job growth potential and flexibility. It's not right.
I'm honestly thinking of quitting my career as an engineer cause I just don't see it as worth it when I think about these things.
