    I agree with you, must have miscommunicated the intended sarcasm. Not everyone is cut out to be a truck driver. Some of these guys can't even back up a honda civic without hitting anything but these companies will do everything they can to put them behind the wheel. The spacial awareness, focus, and feel required to operate safely is just something not everyone is capable of.

    If not for trucking I think that would be pretty cool. I wouldn’t go back to my former occupation. But I said that before.

    That was a backup plan. I went to the Coast Guard office in Memphis and got the Ordinary Seaman document, so I would be prepared. Later I needed something different and applied for a Ordinary Seaman job on a merchant ship in Singapore. Online, found a nice ocean front condo there by looking online. Wife refused to live in Singapore, so gave up on that one.

    I know. I like Singapore. It's like a mixed bag of Asian ethnicities. Many speak English.

    Language education in Singapore. Students are taught subject-matter curriculum with English as the medium of instruction.

    What are the racial proportions among Singapore citizens?

    My wife is Chinese and I fall into the "Other" group in Singapore, me being White.
