Hello to all. After 26 years in the computer industry I am finding myself a victim of age discrimination and a case of youth over experience. The young fresh grads will work for less.
Couple that with outsourcing to New Delhi and I am pretty well hosed.
I come from a family of truckers...my grandfather, my father and all of his brothers. So, I am following the family tradition and making one final career change. I start school this Monday. One week of classroom and three weeks of driving, then I hope to find that elusive first job.
I have been researching this board a lot to try to make somewhat of an educated decision as to where to go for my first years experience. I am still in the process of deciding but am kind of see-sawing between Swift or Knight (Squire).
Anyway, hope to chat with you all more and maybe run into you (no pun intended) out there on the road.
