    @mutant those things don't add up to putting your life on the line for a country that really doesn't care about its people. I'm only looking at the salary that's all

    Sadly I was pretty happy with my salary when I was a Burger King store manager. 24k salary with full paid bennies via BCBS along with holiday bonuses and misc. franchise bonuses . Made my own schedule 7-3 Monday thru Friday

    I assume you'll be relinquishing your citizenship, and leaving then. I hear Syria is nice this time of year.

    Get all your endorsements, TWIC, Passport, and a new driver can be making $65K per year within 36 months.

    Not important! Okay, stop trucks and see how long it takes the country to panic!!!! You clearly are not a driver, because a real driver takes pride it what he does.

    WOW!! 24k? I have a couple of friends here that are managers at BK's and there salary is 50K a year. I thought they were bs'ing me till they showed me their tax statements.

    I think once you start figuring out what you "would" be making if you were hourly. Then it sucks!!! Just like being salary. I made 55K a year, compute all my hours worked in a given 2 weeks and figure out hourly and it sucked but I did the work because I enjoyed it.

    Just like trucking, people do it because they enjoy it.
