Truck driving or not

you have it figured out it seems, so what exactly is the issue?

 

I agree wholeheartedly. I did a local job in Nashville for a year, and I was glad when they fired me. Everyone always says, "I'll get my one year, then I'll find something local." To me most local jobs dont pay that great. The ones that do, are few and far between. The only perk about local is regular hometime. For me, that isnt a good enough perk, especially when it's so hard to make it in this society. You gotta make big bucks. OTR is the most sure fire way to make at the very least steady money. OTR has the biggest demand

 

This is where the different strokes comes in, to some, myself included, a steady routine is just intolerable after a period of time.
I know folks that love doing the very same thing day after day for years on end, it just was not for me.
I know also it gives them a sense of security, I just never needed security, I guess I am lucky, I never had any trouble finding a job, even at a young age.

 

IT and programming are different jobs. If you want to program for money just start programming stuff. You dont need to sit on a help desk reimaging computers. You do not need a computer science degree to do IT at all, but a software engineer it helps.

Write a program that takes information from a user, like personal information, store it in a database using a query language like SQL, then have a way for them to call information to display on screen using specified parameters like geographic location, Department they work for, salary range, etc.

 

Go for it! All speed ahead!
