I feel like being a blacksmith in 2024 is probably the same if not more lucrative than back when people rode horses, wore armor and swung swords around considering you’ll mostly be making replica anime and video games pieces for rich nerds.
I imagine it’ll help a lot, but if you’re in and around a smithy for years you’ll still end up breathing a lot more bad stuff than the average breather
I like cooking, but I’d never want to be a chef. One might like tending to their own little garden, but being a farmer is a completely different thing. You might like making your own little game, but working at a gaming company is not the same thing.
A job is a job, at the end of the day. Sometimes I think it could be better to keep the things you like doing as a hobby, rather than your job, as you might enjoy doing them more in the end.
Would I rather be on the beach with the family or on a cruise? Absolutely.
Reality is I need to work to feed my family. I have a job I’m good at and I find the work fulfilling. That makes it tolerable and I don’t find going to work everyday an absolute drag.
“You study well and you will end up sitting in the office”
People sitting in the office cubicle: i hate this job.
Do people like jobs? Today I was thinking that being a blacksmith could be cool. But I guess I was born to deploy k8s clusters.

Actually probably true, the issue is just getting started and building a reputation at first
And if you get enough clout you might get some edgy reality show on History channel or something now hahaha.
It’s cool but you’ll fuck your lungs
Is wearing a mask with a proper filter, not an option?

I like my work my job however I am on the fence about.
My job is a little cool but idk how long it will last
I like my job, but it’s still a job.

It happens. Rarely, though.
