There is nothing wrong with being a truck driver. I wanted to be one before I joined the Marines at 18.

I have several relatives that are truck drivers and they have done extremely well at it. The trucks alone can cost upwards of a quarter million dollars...............

Again, don’t misunderstand me. I have not said there is something wrong with being a trucker. There is nothing wrong with being a convenience store clerk, if that was the best you could do.

But, if the best you could do was Walmart II, then being a store clerk is a disappointment. It’s a relative thing. If you have achieved what is a high point for you, it’s wonderful. However, if you have achieved. 0.00000000000000000001%^1000 of what you could have done, then it’s a failure.
