    Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I've been an attorney in Tulsa, OK for the past 19 years and became burned out a few years back. To make a long story short, in researching alternative careers, I came across an article about other lawyers who left the practice of law and became truck drivers. So I began researching the possibilities and here I am in the middle of a radical career change. I graduated from Central Tech in Drumright, OK on June 27 and begin orientation with Tyson Foods in Springdale, AR on July 21.

    Just noticed this thread. Not sure why a lawyer would want to take a run of the mill driving job, nor do I understand what is special about Tyson. They hire here all the time. Looked into it, doesn't sound like anything I'd want.
