Should I go back to trucking? Should I be worried about recession?

I got in and got out of trucking a couple of times. You may be remembering the best parts of trucking and comparing them to the worst parts of a "normal job". Look for a better job. Only then should you go back behind the wheel. Or stay where you're at while searching for a primo driving job. A bad driving job will feel like a prison term. Hold out for a great driving job.

 

if you want to live in the truck and live on the road you may well be recession proof.

consumerism is the national religion imo

 

whats with this coding stuff, it is programming and it is and has been saturated for the past 2 decades.

 

A friend of mine with no prior experience forked over a few thousand dollars and did a 12 week “boot camp” course 11 hours per day. They guaranteed he’d get a job, which he did. Three years later he grosses about 70k. He lives in California though, which has a lot more tech obviously.

Still, when talking about recession one should consider the tech bubble. I don’t really see all the hype as sustainable.

 

That and as much as I wanted to get into it, look at how many of the younger generation are learning it in high school. How can anyone in their 30s or older compete with them??
I forsee alot of people getting replaced in the coding field in the next several years. Where as who the heck wants to drive a truck. Lol

 

Agreed, unless you have people that depend on you (children) it isn't worth being miserable.

 

Yeah you shouldn't even think about trucking. The recession is LITERALLY around the corner. Probably be next Thursday.

if we all worried about that stuff, nothing would get done. Y2k? 12/12/12?

pish posh.

 

Oh, oh, next Thursday? That's when I'm suppose to pick up my new $189,000 Peterbilt,,the sales person never said anything about that,,,
