Hey there, I’m 23 and looking to become a pilot but the schooling for that is incredibly expensive. Just wondering if anyone here Thinks it would be a decent option to drive for a few years to get some money so that I can pursue that. I’m not too worried about how demanding the job is, I’m more just looking for anything that I can get into fairly easily that would pay decently well
Thinking about being a trucker

Where are you located? A Class 1A license in Sask will set you back $10k and 4 weeks of time...........I'd consider that incredibly expensive as well, and the opposite of something you can get into fairly easily.

Still, $10k for something you'll only use for a few months sounds kinda crazy to me............but that's just me. Not sure what the costs, etc are for BC, though.

$2500 will get you training and a license in BC still.
However I think you can make more money in the short term doing something else, I would look for a job with one of the companies building the Coastal Gaslink pipeline (Macro, Surerus, SA Energy, PAPC, Aecon). All have employment openings, skilled and non-skilled work. -

I’m pretty sure the fed mandated 100+ hours of truck training due to the Humbolt accident a few years ago.
Meaning getting your license will cost between 10-20k now ( depending where you are ) -
