You're not my real dad

Don't know where else to put this so here goes.

>Be me lately
>Realize I'm on the backside of my 20s, almost 30
>Jobs have been a dead end since 2014, enough to get by and be reasonably comfortable but always mind numbing
>think going to college for engineering might help but not holding my breath
>Talk to current job owner about future at company for about half an hour, pretty much tells me that if I stay I'll just have more bullshit without any real pay increase
>Realize that even if I manage to get an actual engineering job (between age and "lack of experience" my chances are slim) by time I'm making any real money I'll be approaching retirement
>Have gf who wants kids but knows that quality of life will be shit since more than likely will be just one income and should we break up I'll get bent over by the courts
>Can't hero myself due to family and political reasons
>Can't just move due to financial reasons and "muh responsibility"
How TF do normal people deal with midlife crises?

I've toyed with it but that would take even longer to finish (local electrician apprenticeship program is like 5 years)

I mean ideally I get out of my state (NY) so while yeah I could make some money short term it would end up being the same situation as the engineer only I would make significantly less

@Big Buck Bunny honestly your best bet is to try and find someone else since chasing people rarely works out
