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!

Most deal with a four year apprenticeship, you'll work and be paid during the day and you'll be doing schooling in the afternoons. Not all state require licensing.
All trades require you to go thru apprenticeship, you just need to figure out which trades you would enjoy doing. Be honest with yourself. Most trades are manual labor and just manual labor. So you need to find something that you enjoy doing.
I'm Electrician and I hate what I do. But I got into it back in 2008 when I needed a job and it was any job. I work commercial / Industrial and all summer I dig holes (underground, ) then once the pads are formed and walls go up I just pipe, once that's all done I pull wire. You also install SES's, transformers, and the like. But it's manual labor, back breaking labor.
Working in the trades is work, it's not for everyone. Electricians get paid more than most trades. But within the Electrical field you need to figure out what you want to do. Commercial and Industrial, Residential, or Lineworker. Lineworkers get paid most, but they're also all Union workers so dues might offset higher pay in some states. Residential is just crazy, and pay can be great if you're good. Roping a house isn't hard when you figure out the basics. Commercial and Industrial is were all the dipshits work, and it's why I hate it. I work for a smaller company but I work in multiple states. So I get the wonderful pleasure of meeting countless niggers and spics that think they know better.
With any trade, learn it! You can go far, if you master your trade. The old fucks know more than you'll ever know. Some did the trade before power tools! Just imagine going any of the trades before power tools and what you had to nigger rig just to get things done. LEARN FROM THEM if you do go into the trades.
I stated at 15 an hour, and I now run jobs and have certs that allow me to make over 150k a year.

Thank you for the advice! I'm really hoping to do some free labor while still working then once I make the leap go to an apprenticeship, I don't need much money but I can't afford to be in school for years. I don't mind manual labor, I worked on a farm for a while I mostly meant I prefer if there's skill so that I'm not competing with a bunch of spics for minimum wage. Do you think residential electric would be any less bad?

Listen to this sparky above he's telling the truth.
I worked as a carpenter and learned to make beautiful homes, cabinets and furniture. Unfortunately, there's no money in it unless you run a crew of illegals because there's no barrier to entry like licensing in my state. This drove wages into the dirt.
If I had a time machine is go back 20 years join the electricians union until I got my license them start my own residential electrical business and retire at 55.

Residential is 10-15 an hour
Commercial/Industrial is 15-25 an hour
Linework is 15-30 an hour
Residential is more illegals right now. Commercial/Industrial is just spics and niggers mostly all legal. Lineworkers are mostly white and a few spics and niggers. I wouldn't recommend Residential unless you want to use it as a stepping tool into commercial. If you are wanting to go into your own business do commercial/industrial. The skills that get you paid most in Electrical is installing motors and live work. Both are easy to do, but a pain in the ass to learn to do right.
I say Commercial/Industrial instead of Residential is because of finishing work. Installing all the lights and receptacles. You'll get more experience doing the fine work than in residential and off time is less with commercial. The trades slow down during winter, less work.
If you enter into the Electrical trade, the apprenticeship would pay for school and you would work while going to school (You'll be paid, and if they say you're not go somewhere else.) If you pay for the schooling yourself it use to be 1k the first year and 1500 the next three, but it's been years since I've even been around an apprentice. You'll get paid 15 starting and if you show promise that can be raised quickly. Show up at least 30mins early to the job site, ask questions, don't be caught on your phone, work and you'll stand out from everyone else.Tthat works for all the trades.
