Yeah, a school bus is harder*.
A Class 3 isn't hard. You already have a Class 2; just get your air and go!
Okay, a little training on a manual would be good, but don't over think it.
My wife has a Class 2 and air. She drove school bus for awhile, but now drives for Calgary Transit. I would put her in a truck long before any number of mooks that have "experience".
*I rode with my wife; if I had to drive a school bus (or transit, for that matter) I would choke out my cargo.

I really just need to get my foot in the door as far as getting more experience and move up from there. Thanks for the advice, I will start with the class 3 driving and then look over my options. I know years ago, gravel truck companies were begging school bus drivers to come work for them, not sure if that's still the case. I know when I first started training for my school bus job, it was intimidating, but after a certain period of time, I really started to love it. Handling the kids is another story, but driving a "big rig" is great. -

You couldn't pay me enough to be a cabbie. -

Mike Vail runs a hell of a good operation. Another good dump truck operator is Pidherneys out of Rocky Mountain House.
