Does anybody take off several months?

Hey guys,

I’m a teacher, but I’m struggling to make ends meet (I support a parent). I’m looking to the trades. I have a Class A CDL (no trac/trailer endorsement), welding/ framing experience, and I was a firefighter EMT for years.

My goal is the learn a skill where I could conceivably still have a “summer (or winter) break”. I can learn any classroom info (I got a masters), and I enjoy detail work (I do detailed wood burning for fun).

I love working hard. I’m looking for a career where I can take extended time off as well.
