Listen I'm not gonna tell you there's a job out there that will absolutely make you happy. But my guy, you went from one of the most soul crushing environments imaginable straight in to another one.
These environments demand a lot of you, both mentally and physically. There are better places to be. Any chance you could get in to trade school?
If there was any trade that I'd give a shit about, then probably. I'm not willing to spend the massive amount of money on a maybe. I already make $50k a year at a slaughterhouse.
Trade school is usually pretty cheap. Most manufacturers will pay for you to go to school on top of that. I work with a lot of welders, none of them paid for their education, half of them don't even have one.
Welders start at 55k a year. In our plant they cap out at 75. The guys who are good fuck off to an oil rig and make an ass load more and only work 6 months a year.
I only mention welding because you sound like you'd get along with welders.
