I agree. Trades aren't an appealing field at all. However, it's a field where it can't be easily automated, and it requires clear and concise communication for things to work, so immigrants need to have a passing level of English in order to work (unless the entire company itself is founded by immigrants or wants to hire immigrants, in which case they will do anything to scam and fuck you over financially). I absolutely despise people getting supervisor jobs straight out of grad school though. That literally makes zero sense. You can't get the same experience in a fucking classroom. If my commanding officer became one simply by sitting in a classroom for 4 years, then I'm quitting. I definitely wish America would have military service straight out of high school. I just want them to serve it domestically. No one trains for the US Army in Mexico. They do it in North Carolina or Missouri (where I had my basic training).
We DEFINITELY need to stop helping Israel though. That's indisputable.
I'm sorry about your situation, but let me tell you, in this day in age, being a police officer is much more difficult, in my opinion, than being a soldier right now. You're expected to be perfect in the eyes of all the iPhones filming you. If anyone was doing their job and someone was filming them 24/7, it would be pretty fucking annoying. And also since everyone at home who is supposed to respect you hates you, like intentionally fucking up your coffee or lunch orders just because you have a uniform on, is disgusting.
Much respect for becoming a police officer. I know it's an extremely difficult job, but just know that there are men and women in here and out there that thank you for your service.
