What's up goats. I need some help from you fine lads. For reasons I won't go too much into (yet), I may have to leave my career soon. I can feel it, I may be able to stick it out a while and I can avoid being forced out but it doesn't feel right. Many moral issues have come up. Both job specific issues as well as the fact most people I work with are leftist including the official company policy supporting vaccine mandates, faggot pride retardation, diversity week, endless "trainings" from HR about the benefits of castrating yourself and being a cuckold to minorities etc you all know the deal. The professional ones I'll reserve for now as it is lengthy.
The point is, despite being hard working, reliable, motivated and bright, I am a devisive personality. I would like to plan my escape as I see a future of either cucking and putting up with being silent and accepting all their demands, or continuing like I am and ending up in a dead end track because I won't be promoted without relenting to faggotry. This is not at the present time urgent, I have enough cash to be fine and I will keep working here a few months at least.
In the meantime, what can I do to prepare? What skills can I learn on my own, versus needing a dedicated teacher? I am willing to do anything really, but with preference to crafts and trades more than straight manual labor. I have some basic knowledge but assuming I had none where do I start? I would do woodworking, metalworking, gunsmithing, carpentry, plumbing, electric, etc. I already have far too many degrees so I'd rather not go back to school. I'm young, fit, eager to work and fast at learning. Should I try to find an apprenticeship? Will I need to support myself for a while? Any information whatsoever is very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing you're young, my post is written with that in mind.
Get your ass to Texas, Alaska, North Dakota and roughneck for a year or so. Oil rigs, mining, etc.
You will be making a ludicrous amount of money working, for example, 84 hours a week. 2 weeks on, 1 week off. It's hard and there's a reason not everyone is doing it.
Save your money. Every penny. You will likely be living where you work so you won't be paying rent. Everyone around you will be drunk idiots blowing their paychecks on booze, motorcycles, trucks, and mortgages on McMansions in the suburbs. Don't do that.
After about a year, you will have enough money to pay for trade school out of pocket. Quit roughnecking, take on some part-time thing while you are in school. A 2-year program is all you need. Union can be good too.
3 years will get you in the business. Plus you'll have a resume with good work history on it.
My uncle did this exact thing decades ago but there's no reason you can't do it today.

Alright thank you! I'm already in Texas as it is so I'll look into my options. What trade do you recommend?

If you are over 30, don't go into roughnecking. You will beat up. Shoulders, Elbows, Back, Hands ... The list goes on. If you want to make bank, get into electrical work in the oilfield. That way you have a skill you can take out of the oilfield. Too many oilfield hands (roughnecks) are one trick ponies; they only have skills that apply to the oil and gas industry, and nothing else.

All depends on you. Just know that the more physical you get the earlier you're gonna burn out. Welding will destroy your back for example.
