What's your life like as an OTR trucker?

Would it be a good idea to just go to college while working at UPS? I'll start off working at UPS part time. So while I'm doing that, I may go to college to maybe become a cop or something? I'm not sure. And once college is over, and I feel that it didn't work out, I'll have UPS to fall back on. Maybe I should go to college full time but try and balance a part time job at McDonalds lol. What I want to go to college for, i have no idea.

 

Yeah I'm thinking about just going to a university. I just don't know what I'll want to do. The only jobs that I can think about going to college for is medical. And I don't feel like being a doctor or a nurse anymore. I here welders make good money, but even still. Also instead of college. I could atleast go to trade school

 

Your right. I was thinking i'd be able to just come home from a hard days work, relax, watch netlfix, maybe play a game. I doubt I'd even feel like doing that. Working at UPS seems like hell so college is my only option.

 

LOL thanks! What career ideas do you have? I don't know what I should go to college for.

 

I took this from an article

"Welding does not require a college degree and is one of the few jobs where you can earn a six-figure salary with as little as nine months of training! Underwater welders often charge over $1,000 a day for their services. Traveling industrial pipe welders earn anywhere between $50,000.00 and $185,000.00 a year."

So I could basically go to trade school which is cheaper and shorter than college, usually 6 months to a year or two, end up with a degree and still make really good money.
