Hey guys

Just wanted some opinons, I am 19 , just moved to Edmonton Alberta, I hate it here but jobs are here, I worked construction and made just over 5 grand a month all last summer and now im working as an autmotive apprentice for 10 dollars an hour ( by 4th year ill be capped at 29.50$ an hour)

I work 9-5 weekends off now, but the thing is Im kinda thinking about getting in construction, oil rigs again for fast money but I dont want to rethink this down the road and regret it, Fast money as in, money to get into serious full time investing as a career...

I also want to move back to Ontario to get a Construction job next september...Is it worth the 65-75 hour weeks now till im 25 till I go full time investing or work 9-5 making 50k a year? and invest on the side with little money till retirment?

Mechanic- 9-5 Weekends Off 50k a year before taxes (In 4 years, pennies until then_)...................
Construction worker/ Oil rigs- 35-40 thousand a season (6 months) before taxes (******** work and ******** hours)
