Maybe you could teach your kids not to make the same shitty choices you made?
I'm in Ontario and I can clear $4k a month, easily, roofing. Zero education, zero debt, and where I work runs year round. Do literally anything other than work for the government.
Yeah guys working trades aren't struggling for work at all. I can pull $500+ per day doing subcontractor stuff or $300-$400 per day just dealing with customers myself
No, I don't love roofing. It is a hard, dirty, dangerous job that can easily destroy your body in a couple years. Half the roofers I know are on hard drugs or perscription and pretty much all of them drink heavily. There's a certain satisfacting in getting the job done but this isn't something anyone intentionally pursues. That's why it pays.
This is exactly your problem. You fell for the "do what you love" scam. Wrong; do what you get paid for. People working because they're "passionate" are easy to take advantage of, which is why game devs are always treated like shit.
I also love teaching kids, that's why I had kids. And, because they're my own, I don't need to throw in the globohomo crap the government requires.
I mean, you do you but don't complain about money or being miserable at work if you got there because it's what you wanted.

So you are unhappy but convinced yourself you are happy. Wow.
