CCNA holds more weight but is less niche

I personally think its about finding niches

do you know which one pays more in the long run?

 

[Rozay Oro]

Put that CDL book down, pick up a Linux redhat book, X.

Make more than any CDL nikka while working half the amount of time.

Also 10000000x more job security with less risk for automation if self-employment isn’t achieved.

Which you recommend?

Imagine if X did 6 certs in 2013, he would have been killing it right now, then do music as a hobby and have a nice little side hustle.

And do you know which one takes longer to finish?

Sometimes in life you have to do what you need to do to get to do what you want to do

This could expand your creativity, look at it as an opportunity

Why would he do that when he could spend his time "struggling"

Salvation....

I'm trying my best to Jedi mind trick myself into becoming a trucker. My guy @UpAndComing gave me the suggestion to drive a truck or get a trade. It sound great on paper until you accept the reality that you will live in a truck smelling like ass, teeth looking like Juelz santana and interacting with all the riff Raff bottom feeders you used to stick your nose in the air towards.

I always had dreams of being a fly artist with beautiful women, drapped in gold from head to toe, pushing the fly whip and travelling the world. Opening up art galleries and doing major star studded art shows. Now I'm about to drive a fukking truck and my only companionship will be my mediocre dispatcher who will google my name and like most mediocre people get excited and ask me to draw him a picture because everybody think they have artistic ideas. And I'll comply just to stay on good terms with him and get good runs.

I can't believe it came down to this. It's hard transitioning from being an artist to becoming a truck driver. My brain is wired for creativity so I gotta basically reprogram everything I taught myself.

I'm currently been studying for my ny state Class-A permit for about 5 months procrastinating and I'm forcing myself to read the manual to complete the practice quizzes.

I try to read but all I can think about is art. I love art. I love expressing myself. I'm addicted to creating and seeing people's reaction. It's a drug, a high I simply can't explain.

I grew up lonely. The only child and never had friends or got women. Something about attention and admiration is an addiction for me. It makes me feel like a somebody. It makes me feel love and wanted.

Nothing like creating art and somebody telling you how much it touch their soul. I can't have enough. I want more and more. I know my addiction will be my undoing but like most addicts I'll pursue it anyway. Because this hole inside of me will never close no matter how hard I try.

I belong to the game. I was born for this shyt. All I can think about is how many wack so called artist like that bytch nikka koven are pretending to be me. Pretending to be artist. I'm a real artist. Not somebody pretending. I'm an artist forreal. I love this game. I poured my soul into it. I gave my heart to it, only for it to be broken repeatedly.

So farewell art and hello to trucking. At some point DrX have to grow up and be an responsible adult. But Damn it, nobody from my generation did it like me.

Get rid of the negative mindset and go get that paper.

If you end smelling funky than that’s your fault lol.

[TransJenner]

ain't nothing wrong with being a truck driver

plus whatever downtime you have, you could do both

I don't get people who make it seem like you gotta give up one for the other. Do it all.

I don’t see a problem with being a truck driver at all


I mean how much is the pay though

 

[TransJenner]

Breh then why isn't the average higher then? It ain't rocket science.

 

[Kane1]

My older brother is a truck driver....he likes it


He's always been a 'cant keep a job' type nicca so being on the road fits him well looks like it changed his life for the better

Most drivers are starting at OTR mega companies (Swift, C.R. England, etc) and paying them back tuition for 13 months on top of shytty starting pay (mid to high 30 cent per mile). I got lucky in the fact that my company had an opening and I took that shyt with no experience to avoid going over the road and got my $4500 tuition paid back. I made over 50,000 in 8 months last year working 4 on/3 off averaging between 50-55 hours a week. The money is out there, especially in a trucking hub like Chicago. If you wanna make more, you can get endorsements for tanker and hazmat.

There's companies that pay well without those (the food service jobs like Mclane and US Foods make damn near 100gs) but it's a matter of looking for them and not going on Craigslist and taking the first thing that pops up
