I was a Mechanic at several car dealerships for about a year or two before that I was a soldier. I drove truck for the U.S. Army for almost 3 and a half years. I specialized in heavy haul, transporting mainly tanks and very large heavy equipment.... I miss it everyday.

Im 29. When I see these young people / friends spending all this money to go to college to get a general business degree I hate it for them. Especially the ones who can't afford to pay per semester and end up 20-30k in debt at 23 years old from student loans. I got my degree in Finance because in 05' it was the highest paying degree upon graduation. Then the financial crisis came and finance degrees sucked to have. I think having a skill or trade, especially in blue collar states where I live is a good investment. Whether its welding or cdl school, the demand for these jobs is at its highest now and look prosperous for the next decade.
Personally, I just like being independent and not sitting down in an office at the same business everyday. And I don't like babysitting adults either that's why I'm out of LE.

 

sorry I had to.
