Thinking of going into the trucking industry

Yeah man, PT school is tough, ALOT of science courses, I used to work as a PT aide and man they make ####, I started with $11 an hr and 1 year in I only made $13 an hr and you max out at $15. It's a ######## career unless you go to graduate school. The field itself was fun, but it gets boring over time, it's the same thing over and over again. It is rewarding when you see patients recover, some people lose limbs and legs and they fight their way through recovery. I got tired of the field very fast, there wasn't any excitement. Even if you have a undergrad degree in PT you still can't find jobs without knowing people, most PT clinics require at least 6 months to 1 year of experience, but how would we get experience if we can't even get hired? I wanted to work in the ER because it's more thrilling haha.

 

#### $6000 is hella expensive!!! But I heard roadmasters is a great school for training, I might end up going there if I can secure a loan because 6g's is a lot of money haha. Most of the schools I contacted are roughly between 2000-3000, although the price can determine how good the school is. Such as if they train you properly to go OTR or if they train you ONLY to pass the DMV. Yeah I was looking in doing local because we want to have kids by the end of the year, local pay is okay, what pays the most is the overtime for local routes. I do want to get endorsements, such as hazmats and tankers.

 

It's not that I am not sure, it's just that I am currently trying to save money for my wife to go to microblading school between April-May, its a 4 day training course for like $2500. And then it's my turn to apply to trucking schools.
