Hi everyone,
I'm 30 married and am expecting our first child soon. I’m still figuring out my career path here in Vancouver. Me and my wife have about $30k saved up. And have no debts. My old car is paid off and is okay to get us to point a to point B. We pay very cheap for rent at a family’s basement so moving to a different city wouldn’t help as our rent is pretty cheap.
Anyways currently I’m just a driver working for 20/hr I've been thinking about getting a Building Service Certificate to potentially open up new job opportunities maybe with the city or school board? I’ve tried to apply for trades apprenticeship but haven’t been able to get hired as a green labour
I’ve been feeling a bit lost in terms of career direction and want to make a practical decision that could offer some stability. Do you think getting a Building Service Certificate would be a good move for now? Or would it be better to focus on other options or further exploration before committing to a specific path?
Also I’ve blessed that my dad has offered us $200,000 for a down payment for a townhouse/ apartment but with the jobs I have now that pays $20/hr I couldn’t be able to take out a mortgage.
Any advice or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
What about working with public transit? I hear pay and benefits are pretty decent! And stable!

I think the great part is that there are tons of different jobs and opportunities to move within the company and try out different roles
