I mean my situation should be survivable, but expecting 30 more years old good health is no given certainty.

You are a drafter for an Engineering company right?
Some of the clients that you draft for often hire their own in house drafters and often pay significantly more money. Atco hires drafters and I think they start them at a high rate with a lot of upside potential and a pension plan. (I hate Atco, but they do pay well)
Anyway, if you are looking to move up and make more money it is worth keeping your eye out for some of the bigger corporations to see if they are hiring. You will have to sell them your soul but the office might have a daily fruit basket.
