    That is correct! Without education, nothing else productive can happen.

    I know I'm late responding to this, but I had to say thank you to madbunny. It's nice to know I'm not the only freak in the world. I too have a business degree, and trucking is the first thing I think about in the morning, the last thing I think about at night, and every thought in between. There is no other word to describe it other than passion. What else can drive (pardon the pun) a person to be away from the ones he loves and put up with the cons of the business? If you're just looking for a way to make money, you probably won't be too happy. You'll make some money, but not enough to offset the frustration.

    Growing up, I remember people saying, find something you enjoy, something you'd do for free, and choose that as your career. Personally, I'd drive a truck for free if I didn't have bills to pay. But then again, I'm a freak. :biggrin_255:
