Like I said JL anything I can do to help feel free to ask.
I know how you feel though ironically it's in my current job. Dead end, pays us as 1099 contract labor, so no benefits, workers comp unemployment etc. Not to mention that I pay the full 15.3 % of Social Security. My problem is that anything decent is 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours away. I can't travel that much each day as I have to be close to home due to family issues. My goal is to build a nice shop on my farm and get into the Custom/Resto side full time. Saving every penny I can to try to make this happen without going into debt. Hopefully within 2 years. Anyways good luck hope everything works out for you and your family.
