I WANT TO WORK IN A DISPENSARY!

I currently am trying to pursue licensing to become a stock broker (not fun at all), but I have a love for cannabis. I have tried running numbers in my head to figure it out, but would working in cannabis be worth the financial struggle? I am sure I could work multiple cannabis related jobs if needed, but to the people who have seen the industry, is it a livable occupation or should I look elsewhere. Where I’m located there’s lots of dispensaries and job openings. I just can’t imagine paying for cars+kids+mortgage off of it. If anyone has been able to make it work and has some insights that would be amazing. I’m a hard working individual who just so happens to have a passion for cannabis (other than smoking it ofc).

Also how hard is advancement? I don’t mind being a bud tender/packager/harvester/grower. My main goal is to be a lead extraction tech eventually. Any tips/insights are appreciated!!!!!
