Here is my situation. Its not a bad one but its something that has been on my mind for a while. For the past 2 years I have been doing masonry during the spring summer and fall for a roofing company my brother is working for. I started off as a laborer but am slowly moving up, very slowly though. But I dont enjoy the work I am doing, even though I am learning a skill for my future. This winter while layed off I started doing snow removal for my best freinds dads company, which is a very well set development company and they offered me a full time job this summer in landscape design which I really enjoy doing. So I need advice of what I should do? stick with masonry or move on to landscape design. Here are my pros and cons of each.
Masonary Pros:
Career skill for my future
Working under my brother
I am already well set in the company
Cons:
Dont like the work envirenment
Dont enjoy the work
Do not like my work mates
30 minute drive to and from work
Low pay for being a starter (10.50 hr)
Landscape design pros:
Working with my best freind
Love what I am doing
Better pay (guaranteed atleast 14 hr)
Getting myself set up in a very up and comming company
5 minutes from home
working with a lot of nice guys
Cons:
Not as much of a career path
letting my brother down by leaving masonary
What do you guys thing? I just want some opinions.
