Health or wealth

I've stuck in a * job where the money and conditions are appalling,but on the other hand its local the hours are good and its doesnt really have an effect on my totally knackered back,My dilemma is do I pay X amounts of pounds to do my HGV (My medical is friday) probably knowing there is no way I could sit in that position for nearly 12 hours a day BUT I MIGHT be able to or do i keep my money and just try get a slightly better job somewhere else?My back is such a life wrecker, Any positive feedback would be appreciated folks

 

Have you tried those car seat add ons with lumbar support etc. Id be inclined to try a few models and go out for a drive see if any help. Only thing with hgvs do they not have to unload stuff and load up depending on the job?

My back suffers, obviously not as bad as yours. I cant sit in my friends new merc he got as a company car. After 20 mins the lower back aches. Yet my old honda i could sit 24 hours and be fine.

Sympathies about your back though, people who haven't experienced one truly dont understand.

 

Health is wealth.

 

Absolutely agree

 

iv bought some sort of memory foam cushion i think it is the type you are on about,i really want to do this but yes id say some jobs could be a graft i.e loading and unloading but I won't know if the cushion works till I sit in the truck and by that time my money is spent, Actually getting depressed about this * it holds me back (pardon the pun) in everything I want to do.

 

Wealth is health

Seriously though is there not studies that show, broadly speaking, that the better standard of living an individual has the healthier in general they are ?

 

Yes most extremely wealthy families benefit that way. I was meaning wealth on a slightly less grand scale though mate.

 

the risk is... do i stay where I am and be skint or do i go for it and there's a chance i end up * and need another op. Actually feel like.....

 

Absolutely there is!

 

My mum has more money now than she ever had, but she’s practically house bound due to her stroke she can’t get to the bingo or the shops anymore(very seldom depending on how she is), I feel she has a poor quality of life and doesn’t get the chance to enjoy the money she gets now, so for me health is definitely wealth

 

That depends on the level that is set as "wealthy"

 

I’m a wise yoke

 

a so want to do it but the thought of spending 2500 on it then I do a few shifts and either end up really * and unemployed or in my bed in agony on the sick,everything is screaming just keep your money and try get a * job somewhere else but I'm thinking if I could get my tickets maybe I could land a cushy wee number, this is frying my head bhoys

 

Why don’t ye stick the current job and do a night class in college if you have the spare time? I just applied to do my Construction Management HNC in the evenings after work, Planning to move move away from actually grafting on the sites and get a cushy site agent job or supervisor position somewhere. I’m 26 and my backs goosed awready.

 

because by my own admittance i aint the brightest spark in the world,I'm 38 and have a mortgage and 2 kids so I need some sort of 5 day maybe 10 day course where I can start earning asap so if anyone has any realistic ideas id love to hear them I have approx 2500 to do something
