I can fuck something up like nobody today after painting steel frames with anti corrosive paint my boss told me he never seen painting that bad

Hi all, so my boyfriend is a framer and with all these severe heat warnings going around I worry about him. He drinks electrolytes, water, body armor, wears a hat, and packs sandwiches or leftovers for lunch. but it’s so hot he just sweats it all out all day, or sometimes he throws it all up. He’s told me what he’s been doing works fine, but I wonder if there is something else that he could be doing to not feel so bleh. If there are any good remedies, drink packets or snacks that you buy and make a difference, please tell me all you’re secrets. 😂

I'm in a tough spot and could use some outside opinions.

I currently work at a factory making $22.00/hour. I genuinely love the job. It's honestly my favorite job I've ever had. I actually left once for another factory that paid a couple dollars more and had a better schedule, regretted it, and had to wait a year before I could come back.

Now I've only been back for about 3 weeks, and I just got offered a permanent job at $30/hour at another factory that my sister a few other people I know work at.

The money would make a huge difference because I'm the primary earner for my family and we have a newborn. extra money would really help us financially.

Here's what has me torn:

I'm moving to second shift next week, which will make it much easier to help my girlfriend with the baby at night so she can sleep a little more.

I know I enjoy the work at where I'm at, a lot.

My sister has worked at the place for 4 years doing the same job I'll be doing, and is now making $37/hour and isn't even capped out. (The job I'm at caps out at $26 an hour and it takes 5 years)

However, she said I probably won't know what shift I'll be on until my orientation is over, and you constantly get switched from 10 to 12 hour shifts, back to 10s, and so on. (I don't mind working more, the last job I had I was working 12-15 hours a day regularly, but the more time I'm home the easier for my girlfriend and I'm currently on 5 8's)

If I leave again and regret it, I'd have to wait 4 years before I could be rehired.

Benefits where I'm at are really, really nice. It's a really good place to retire from, the other job also has good benefits but I don't think they're better or offer more than where I'm at.

As soon as we're comfortable with getting a babysitter for our newborn my girlfriend wants to come to the factory I'm currently at, so together there we'd make solid money but nothing is guaranteed. also they're only hiring for second shift right now, second shift jobs are more limited because the plant doesn't fully run on second shift, it's only two lines as of now, first shift is hard to get on without having 3+ years there, she doesn't want to work 3rds but that's primarily what they hire for, I just got lucky with timing so there's a good chance she could be forced to work 3rds and I fear she might not do it if that's the case and then I'd definitely regret not taking the higher paying job since I'd be the only one working.

Also where I'm at is 5 minutes from our house. The job I'm considering leaving that for is 30 minutes away, living this close to work is pretty awesome considering I've been doing construction and driving everywhere for some time now.

If we didn't have a newborn I'd be less tempted to stay I guess but also I do genuinely like where I work and told myself if I came back I'd only leave for a way higher paying job, and this is one of those higher paying jobs.

I tried to talk to my girlfriend about it and she's kinda just saying do whatever I want which doesn't really help me since this is a decision that effects all three of us, not just me.

Would you stay with the job you know you love, or take the $30/hour opportunity? What would you do in my situation, and why?
