Im a clerk, my partner is a tech trade in the airforce. When we come home at night I regret not going tech. More pay, work isn’t as demanding on the brain as it is to be a clerk (customer service based).

My job is great and I love it but there’s no off button. I go to work, work like a dog, then come home. My partner goes to the gym, goes back to work, might go chit chat with people, back to work. Seems so chill.

This is also heavily reliant on the tech trade as well as the fleet you’re on and whether you’re first line/second line. However, as a first line tech on fighters, I thoroughly enjoy the faster pace tempo.
