Opinion about job offer

I am 100% sure this is the truth. He told me that the great folks at our Dept. of Vocational Rehab were a bit upset about him not taking the night janitor job they found for him at a high school - it would have been safer and would have presumably come with pubic employee benefits. He tried calling me to talk it through when the decision had to be made, but I was on a call at work that I could not interrupt so he had to make that decision alone (that was how it was supposed to be, no doubt).

At the beginning of his foray into trucking last fall, when he brought home all the stuff that you have to memorize to pass the written CDL test, I privately thought to myself "there is no way in hell he is going to be able to do this, but I won't be doing him any favors if I try to protect him from life and if he needs to fall on his butt then that's what has to happen. I'm just going to shut my mouth, support him, and have faith that all things work together for good. After that what happens is up to God." Honestly if I didn't believe in God I would have been a big liability, because the whole idea of him succeeding at this appeared impossible to me.

And ###### if he didn't not only pass the written test, but he holed up in a restaurant near the DMV, reviewed his endorsements again, went back in and passed his doubles/triples and a bunch of others (I don't remember the entire list).

No way in a million years did I imagine we would be where we are today. Really, all of this posting is for me, it is helping me to be a little less stressed about everything. I've always been the one to research everything and the trucking world is a big unknown to me, it's like Scotty beamed me aboard a different ship. I'm maintaining the policy of keeping my mouth shut with him unless asked for advice (and really, I have limited advice because all of this is new to me. He is probably getting better advice from the people he deals with himself in trucking). The last thing a man of his age needs is for his mother to run his life. I think at this point he sees me more as a place to bounce ideas around, a sounding board. Thanks everybody for putting up with me.
