I was wondering....

I was talking to another driver yesterday and the conversatin got around to what he was doing before he decided to drive. Turned out he was a desiel mechanic. I have been driving for 15 yrs. I have a BS in Criminal Justice, AS is Social Work and a minor in Spanish with several other almost minors in various other degree fields. Couldn't really decide what I wanted to do in college. I think the parties had something to do with that. When I did, found out that it really wasn't what I wanted to do. Driving pays more anyway. Got a friend that has driven almost as long as I have and he was a college professor. I know several school teachers and some for various other fields or work.

What my question is, what did everyone do before deciding to hit the highway?

Went to Alaska and helped build the haul road, since my Dad was a teamster forman, I learned how to drive from a friend of his on the crew. started driving line after I figured out I could starve to death down here and be alot warmer doing it. here I sit.

 

Well, I thought I wanted to be a truck driver. I learned to drive a truck then decided to go to school to become a truck driver. In the mid 70's I went up to Cushing, OK to school and then decided that I didn't like being gone from home so much. I do have the utmost respect for truckers and my son became one.
