Job is fast paced. (Read that again).

In the middle of summer you will be cold, wet, tired (we all will be) and the trucks will keep showing up.
There is 24 hours of daylight in the summer and if you don’t properly adapt to it you may suffer from insomnia. And you thought
you were tired already?
There will be amazing sunsets, incredible views, phenomenal Thai food and the worst Mexican food in the U.S.
If the above reality/environment is not something you can see yourself being a part of, there is no need for you to keep reading.
Money will not change this for you.
