Won't Be Driving - Thanks for the Help!

You're welcome

 

Okay, you've analyzed it and decided it's not your first choice for a retirement lifestyle.

Apparently, though, beating dead horses is much more to your liking. Unfortunatelty, you are not too precise with that whip, as I have seen it applied to others who are getting started and seem to be doing the right thing despite obstacles they have overcome.

I wish you success in whatever you choose to do.

 

My first year was tough but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the country. My second year, I learned to hate the job and easily quit. After bouncing around jobs, the road was always calling me back. After a few years and realizing other jobs had their downfalls too, I went back and haven't looked back. I've realized the learning the business part is the hardest part. You live in a closed world and when you go trucking your eyes open to all different cultures and have to learn to deal with it. You have to reprogram your way of thinking of sorts. Once you get past that it's a piece of cake and it stays in your blood. Many are too quick to judge and they don't make it through the initial stages. Some think you have to fall into a certain mold. But you don't. You can always be yourself and be successful at the job. It's like any job. You learn it and then you perfect it learning all the shortcuts. Stuff that makes you mad, you learn how to deal with it where it doesn't make you mad anymore.

I don't know many jobs you can do pretty much what you want. You can take a break when you feel like it. You're not looking at the same machine day in and day out. You wanna quit, you walk next door and get a job. There's no commuting to work, lol. You get to meet so many new people and watch the strange and unexpected. Everyday is a new adventure. The job is definately not boring.

This forum is a great tool, but of course you hear the worst and the best. There is a whole lot of in between out there. One has to figure out what they love to do. Then figure out how to make money doing it. Then you will be happy.

 

I wasn't referring to your information in this thread, but, rather, the lash placed (misplaced?) in another.

Best, I
