    One of main reasons I want to be a truck driver is because you#can listen to audiobooks and music (by audiobooks I don't mean to listen to fictions and such, I like listening to self-improvement audios such as Earl nightingale, Brian Tracy, and religious audios etc)

    What are other jobs that lets you listen to audio files? I can think of janitors but i guess the competition is fierce? I think bagboy and McDonald worker is easy to get jobs but you can't listen to audios at work and often have to listen to poor quality music playing in the building.

    LMAO...good one. First time I've ever heard that one too.

    Other jobs - Certain factory jobs allow this. So long as it doesn't interfere with your work.

    Get a job as a night gas station attendant. Then let me know which one it is so I can get some free gas while you are listening to books.

    Do you listen to music on the radio?

    If so, maybe you should not. You might not be paying enough attention.

    There used to be a famous heart surgeon, named Dr. Red something who listened to C/W music while operating on heart patients.

    Funny you should ask that... no, as a matter of fact I don't. The radio might as well not even be there for all I'm concerned--haven't even turned it on in eons.

    Unusual, but I sometimes turn it off just for the quiet.
