I might have to join you in that career, because waiting for this “recovery” is going too take ages

Good money, but that will wear on your body unless you can stay pretty shallow.

I don’t think snorkeling welders get paid as much.

Legit looked into once, got turned off by the fact you don't get to really do any diving the first year or two. Man the boat and the air/electrical lines for a while before you ever get to do anything exciting.

I also get to work with great guys, it’s very exciting, I genuinely help people and I never have to take my work home with me. All I knew was aviation growing up and thought that was the only thing that would make me happy. I was beyond pleased to find a good paying career I love that fulfills me and involves zero desk time.

There are some good jobs out that that have nice schedules that I'm just not interested in because they destroy your body, which I'm not super interested in after being in the military.
