    Thank you, that’s a relief. I plan to do more but for now I’m just trying to get my feet wet.

    Nobody said anything about trying to get rich. But when you’re working long hours in a horrible working environment, you’re gonna do what’s best for you and your family and not worry about who says what. Especially since I’ve always worked harder than the next or at least attempted to. I did my research and have family already in the field, so I think I have a pretty good idea about what I’m getting into. I asked for information/advise, not a rebuttal but I do appreciate the attempt of humor though.

    Western Dairy Transport - www.wdtmilk.com - has their own cdl school and I think they pay you hourly pay while in school. You'd have to ask to be sure though.

    I really appreciate it. I work in a jail with inmates, sometimes 16hrs a day, so nothing that some bitter old men try to say is going to phase me. Trust me, my mind is made up. My family, as well as my well-being, is more important than people making irrelevant comments like it’s going to change my mind. It’s funny though cause I like when people do that. It fuels and motivates me, because I love proving people wrong.

    Well maybe that’s something you might wanna lead with instead of laughing at a situation that you claim to be so dangerous. I work in law enforcement so I know all about danger, so that’s not gonna phase me. But I do appreciate the actual advise though.

    @Desmund94 lone star college offers weekend classes, if you can't cover your tuition you can apply for a grant thru workforce solutions.

    Good luck.
