    You only focused on the bad side. Everyone knows that truckers get paid 50 cents a mile and drive 70 mph. That means they are making $35 per hour. A hard working guy flipping burgers over a hot stove only makes 1/6 that much.... he never gets to enjoy the sunsets, sunrises, drives along the coast, the mountains and the prairies. He has to work two or three jobs with no regulations that force him sleep at least 13 hours a day.

    I agree 100%. Any job is what you make of it and sometimes the only thing you can control is your attitude. If you have a negative attitude, well........After spending 20 years in the Marine Corps I have seen many who made themselves miserable because they were miserable people. People who were positive and had positive attitudes were happy in conditions that many people cannot fathom, unless they have been there. ITS ALL ABOUT YOU AND HOW YOU WANT OR CHOOSE TO GO THROUGH LIFE. If you choose to be miserable, I promise you, you will succeed. If what you are doing makes you that miserable, STOP DOING IT. Find somthing else to do, but don't try to pollute all of the ones who love what they are doing.
