I am a 48 y.o. man, suffering from extreme depression and S.I. ideation, resulting from a failed career and financial hardship. Highly educated in STEM fields, but totally regret this education as it has not lead to a stable, successful career. Have lost out repeatedly on career opportunities, due to who I am. Correct decision-making has been hampered by psychiatric problems inherited from my mom's dysfunctional side of the family. Consumed by the shame of the inherited psychiatric problems, that I've let my dad down, and how I've turned out, after all the effort I've put into life since the mid 1990s. Been clean and sober all the while, no drugs, alcohol, addictions.
Life has been a constant struggle for the last 25 years, and I have reached the point where I'm tired of putting up with what life has to offer. Have decided upon a method to end it all. Currently standing on the edge of the abyss, in spite of seeing a psychiatrist and being on new meds.

I am in Ontario, Canada, have a Power Engineering diploma, and passed both TSSA 4A and 4B provincial exams towards 4th class certification.
Problem is I've never been able to get hired to get the required steam time in Ontario.
Does anyone know any employers who are actually hiring graduates, so they can get the steam time and become 4th class?
