No prob. I’m arguing the oil industry is NOT running out of workforce. Not by any stretch. Plenty of people are ready and willing to jump in when/if the industry recovers. Poor earth.

Anecdotally, I noticed this when my partner and I moved cross country in a Budget truck w/ a hybrid engine- when we were driving through Iowa, the ethanol was cheap I said, well, let’s try it. Long story short, we got about 100 less miles per tank than with regular gasoline.

Two things:
- If Michigan is anything like Ohio, there are great resources to be had at your friendly neighborhood Job & Family Services Center; the problem is navigating the system to find the right someone to help you access the right programs. Try to find a way to get to a licensed social worker (LISW in Ohio), because bureaucracy says you can’t give people advice if you’re just a worker of any other grade - only social workers can give advice. Luckily, most of them are in the soul-crushing, low-paying civil service because they, like the Doctor, really are there to help.
2: You never have to grow up if you can be a responsible adult when needed. -Mama Mary
But to figure out what you want to be when you grow up, take some interest inventory tests - the ones with the seemingly silly questions like “would you rather read books to the blind or watch for forest fires in a tower?” Take a few, and when you see the same suggestions come up on them again and again, take that as career guidance.
