Sorry, but my sister & brother-in-law are teachers, and you won’t get much support from me.

Truck drivers are generally more productive, serve a more valuable role, are treated like dirt by folks like you, and work MUCH longer hours with far fewer creature comforts. They have more responsibility than teachers, since people can die when they screw up.

Teaching requires the ability to breath during education classes. I took enough to know, before getting my BS in biology. I don’t dislike teachers, but I despise teacher snobs who don’t respect others. And in the world of modern trucking, with GPS tracking, making $65K/year is an uphill battle, to say the least. My son tried it and he made under $1000/month.

I was lucky to have some great teachers. In many cases they were the same ones who had taught my parents. They were local people and were invested in the education of kids they knew would grow up to be their neighbors.

One of my former teachers is long since retired and tutors my niece in math. He was at our family reunion summer because his wife and only daughter are both deceased and we invite him to family events.
