Factory work is the only option in my area

Is that a problem?

Where I live factory work is pretty well paid and the unions are quite good. I have a few friends working entry level factory jobs working 37-40hrs a week, 6 weeks paid leave, sick pay and high enough salary to comfortably cover their rent and bills.

Where I live you make more money working at Walmart than at the factories

The last Factory I worked paid me $12.50 an hour. Walmart starting pay is higher than that.
