Anyone here able to take college classes or finish a degree as a trucker?

Look down the posts under this category. 1 guy claims to have gotten his degree.

Unless you sit around a lot. I don't know how one would find the time though. When i was OTR. It was sleep drive sleep drive and come home time when i had no ambition to sit around the computer. Specially if it's motorcycle time.

 

I graduated [while driving] Summa cum_ laude from the prestigious School of Hard Knocks. But it took a while.

 

I would love to learn another trade just to have a backup vocation. One that pays the bills and doesn't pay 10 bucks an hour.

 

Me too. I'm wondering if maybe I'm too old to start med school. Thinking maybe plastic surgery and specializing in breast augmentations. How hard can that be? I'm already adept at handling them, and those guys meet lots of hot women, too. So that's a plus.

 

How smart do you think I am? Some of doze guyz are real smart but it's not me. The guys in trucks making money are about that smart of a person.

 

The biggest hurdle to college, is the time commitment requirement. Nobody needs to sit in a classroom for 5 hours a week watching videos. You want to finish school the easy way, do a bunch of CLEP tests. You pass one test and if you pass with a 50 or above, you get transferrable credit for the entire class. In this manner, you can get a bachelors degree studying full-time in about 8-12 months. You could just take audio recordings of the CLEP test study guide, and pass a CLEP test every 2 weeks until you test out of your degree. It's legit and accredited, and future schools and employers will not know you didn't spend 4 years sitting in a room. Also, this saves about 80% of costs. You have to find a legit school which will allow you to transfer 120 CLEP credits if you want to avoid attending altogether.

 

@ethos is my hero; he completed a degree while running the roads as a trucker.
