had a friend in high school that went state national guard, he has spent a full time 40 hour a week, at the armory for 30 years, I think he was deployed one time back during the bush 1 iraq deal. But he been the sgt at the armory for 30 years
Actually I was a supervisor in a few warehouses, and I never ran into politics from anyone senior. Actually, what I found is that the older people did worse at their jobs, and the supervisors were usually C students with work ethic. They often hated their jobs as well.
So if you do better than everyone else, you dont have to worry about politics, the jobs usually have a high turnover. If youre able to stick it out, you will be the senior, and then will be first in line for management positions. But thats nly if you dont make excuses for not trying.
Thanks for the correction. The high turnover was obvious at any warehouse job I ever had. People work like a dog and get treated like a dog, I don't mind working like a dog but can't take lies (forklift position was never there) or delayed pay (I'm still fighting for money from one place).
Whats wrong with Truck Driving, its the shangrila of employment, you can sit on your a#$$%, and earn over a 100K/year, visit those vacation spots called truck stops, and those great hotels right next door, and don't forget the lot lizards
Your joking? Trucking has a giant turnover rate because of low pay and long hours. Great field if you want to get your wife to leave you or get a boyfriend to keep her company. Everyone thinks trucking is easy until they try it and many quit after just a little while. Stay out for thirty days and get one day off for every seven days worked.great huh? Stay away from trucking.

OP, look into the casinos. Casinos usually offer paid training, and they let you change jobs, and you can work your way into management, etc. There are a lot of different jobs from driving shuttles, to being a dealer, to valet parking to security, hotel management, construction, slot machine technician, just on and on.
Scroll down to see the list of casinos by county here:
There are 35 casinos in WA, including some in King and Snohomish Counties, etc.
I worked for one while going back to college for a while here in CA. The pay is pretty decent, and I was able to switch jobs and shifts to accommodate my changing schedule. Turnover is usually pretty high, so for anyone who wants to move up the ladder, it can happen fairly quickly.
Believe it or not, when I worked at the casino, from what I gathered the valet parking guys made the most money because of big tips from big winners. The dealers also really raked it in, too, with tips. But, there are lots of options, and the benefits are usually decent, as they're usually union jobs. And there are casinos all over the place, so it's a career you can move somewhere else. I met a retired woman who had worked in a casino in Reno long enough to get a pension and benefits when she retired from the job, and she was a waitress.
I knew a guy when I lived in WA, when I was much younger, who was an underwater welder, working on boats/ships. He made tons of money, but it's a really dangerous job. Same for crab fishing.
Good luck.
EDIT: Here's an example of a job that can get you to about $60,000/year with just 3 years of experience, and no degree required.
I took a temp job after trying out an early retirement. They liked me and and I got hired permanent. I suggest looking for jobs based on the skillset you already have (MS OFFICE, reporting, etc) and see what happens.
northwest is kinda expensive and you might not find a decent place to live on that salary.
Probably the "easiest" path to making a living wave in Washington.
He'll be competing with Joe Programmer from USC with a degree in Eco Friendly Sustainable Software Development and won't stand a chance in hell.
