Is Truck Driving worth getting into now a days?

First question - No

Second question - Yes

That other advice you got - pretty good.

 

Depends on your age and if you have dependents. Sounds like you're 21~
Stay in school get your degree in CS, man.

IF that doesn't work, truck driving will still be here waiting....

 

Depends on where you live and what your personality is. Truck driving is both an occupation and a life style and your personality may work with one but not the other.

 

no it won't. trains and robots will take our place. cuz csa will see them as the only safe mechanism that will obey the rules.

 

Can you handle living from paycheck to paycheck?

 

the same can be said about computer science or something.. go to school

 

If you're into programming, then by all means learn IOS and/or Adroid. Trucking is not for everybody, the lifestyle is tough, and the pay is mediocre at best. Better then some jobs, but factor in what your time away from home and family is worth and trucking is a losing proposition for many/most.

 

No matter what happens stay away from computer science. Ive done it for 14 years and when new technology comes out your boss or clients expect you to be an expert and make miracles happen with little pay since your competing with Indians who work full time for $200 per month. All of the android buzz these days will be obsolete in 10 years. Find a good trucking company like I did that pays very well.
