No job comes with zero negatives.

There are moments, and most events in life come in waves that ebb up and down. You can always check out trade school routes, but there will be times where you want to throw your head into the wall the same way an email would make you.

If you're looking for adrenaline, try skyscraper or powerline repair.

Human waste treatment diver.

If you have at least an undergraduate degree in something like electrical/chemical engineering, you could work in Dubai/UAE and make 200k/year no taxes.

This post has been removed because we don't allow career guidance, career path, and job choice questions (rule 9). Other subreddits are better equipped to address this topic:

  • /r/jobs is a general discussion forum for job-related topics.

  • /r/CareerGuidance is a place for individuals to ask questions and get advice about their careers.

  • /r/FindAPath is a place for figuring out what you want to do (both career and education).

  • If none of those subreddits seem to fit, ask on one of these job-related subreddits or ask on /r/Advice.

You may also want to ask on a career-specific subreddit, especially for any topic that depends on the job sector and career such as salary negotiation questions.

If you have questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

I own IVV as well - it's a great ETF! As long as your brokerage allows for fractional shares, you can invest however much you want. I started with $100, and add another $150 each month.

There are differences in certain situations.

If you file separately there are a few credits you cannot claim like the earned income tax credit, child and dependent care credit, and some education related credits. So if you would get those credits filing jointly is generally better than separately.

Also to claim medical expenses you need them to be more than 7.5% of agi. If one person has a bunch of medical expenses it might be more than 7.5% of their agi but not of the joint AGI. In that situation jointly might be better.

There are a ton of edge cases where one or the other is better. In most cases it should be the same or very close to the same, but sometimes there are large differences.
