If you have a family truck driving is not going to be good for that.You can make more money driving a truck than working on them as a mechanic,but you can be home every night working on them.You have to buy a lot of tools,go to schools,and work hard to work on trucks.There is quite a bit of pressure on you to get stuff done all the time,and if you make a mistake it could kill people,like wheel come off,axle come out,brakes fail on a mountain,just lots of things can happen.I would think some kind of electrician,welder,or the new technology stuff like windmills,or construction of that stuff would be the better jobs.I like to weld lots better than roll around in grease under a truck.I dont mind working on motors and transmissions for some reason,but digging them out of a greasy truck is not that appealing.I like working on tractors better.I also like working outside if the weathers good.After spending 10 years in a shop its kind of like being in a cave after a while,but its better than being out in the cold in the winter.Driving a truck is not an easy job if you drive over the road.Then theres hurricanes,tornadoes,crazy people and lots more to look out for.I could write lots about it but you wouldnt know until you did it.Some people like it,some dont last 2 weeks.Way more dont last 2 weeks than last 2 years.
