Don't want dh to regret work

[daisydee43]

Hi
Dh really hates his job currently and it's beating him down. Normally he's very positive and happy but he's been given work above his pay rate and they are very high responsibility - he's not eating and just drinking. He doesn't know what to do as he has no qualifications so always has to work his way up as a plumber and he's self employed so no safety net. Any other job will be a wage cut of 50% and just don't know what to do - I'm trying to look for a better paid job but I just don't want him to regret his work like my dad did

It is not clear from this post what his employment status is? is he a sub-contractor atm? I know first-hand how miserable it can be doing a job you don't like.

Are you there when he gets in? can you give him a nice supportive welcome home at least? (perhaps you already do, or perhaps it isn't logistically possible).

My plumber is doing a business course, as he knows his body won't be up to such a physical job as plumbing in a few years time.
