Here in Arkansas it's difficult to make a living wage even with low cost of living. I was previously in manufacturing, but working constant 50-60 hour weeks at breakneck pace was taking a toll on me mentally and physically.

I've been without work for some time, trying to pivot career paths, but I'm running into a brickwall of how to translate skills or just plain convince people to give me a shot. I'm 35 years old so I don't know if I have time to go back to school or what. It just scares me shitless thinking of money and how I'm going to get it without living inside a factory
