Plan B????????????

How much was the cost for tuition at CFI?

 

Yeah, don't pay for her college. Yes, I am serious. Too many kids who have their parents pay for college end up just playing. I, as well as my brother and sister, paid for our college education completely by ourselves. If you work hard for something, you will appreciate it more.

 

To be honest,I would just go get the bus endorsemnet and drive school bus.Its a pretty fair gig around here.You will start as a sub,then get into a full time slot once one is available.My buddies aunt has been a bus driver full time for 6 years.She makes about $40,000 a year,including working at the school during the summer prepping it for the following year..Heck,I wish now i would have done that when I had the opportunity lol.But I think I would rather pull a 5,500 gallon tanker full of toxic waste,then have a bus load of kids..Kids are the most preccious cargo out there,and there are way to many dumb***** in my town that cant drive 4 wheelers like the normal people do in my town..Good luck on what you decide,I hope it works out....

 

<shudder>

School bus driving is definitely not in the cards for some of us

Newdrivermaybe- I don't recall (from other threads) if you've posted anything about your background..

Have you tried Workforce Investment Act grant? You apply at the county unemployment office. If approved, WIA will pay up to $4000 of tuition. And, since it's a *grant*, you don't have to repay it.

Further, you come out of school beholden to no carrier, so you can apply for employment anywhere.
