Not disagreeing with you, but to become an electrician in Canada it’s a 4 year apprenticeship. Same with plumbing. The rest in your list though, I don’t know enough about, though sounds kinda right maybe

Haha my Oma did this one year, as the sticker came off almost immediately, and the registry wouldn’t replace it for her

Just started listening to Lilith by Nikki Marmery, a novel about Adam’s first wife, and how she was demonized. So far I really like it, and the reader has the best accent, I haven’t looked up where she’s from, but she sounds Irish to me.

Just finished rereading the entire Murderbot series in time to read her newest book, Plarform Decay (which was good, I liked it, but I want to hear more about certain aspects of the story).

Or the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T J Klune

Derring-do For Beginners by Victoria Goddard

Edited for a word and to add another rec
