Last week, I read of a 72-year old guy....marginal amount of real income via social security, and some relative was willing to sponsor him for the truck-drivers course, and he’s got a company lined up for the job as soon as he finishes. He hadn’t worked in seven years. Don’t know his salary but you have to figure at least $40k a year for long-haul work. Even if he just works another five years....he’ll build onto social security, and have some kind of 401k deal on the side if he’s smart.
For any dad who has some idiot son in the house and still not working at age 24....dad needs to drag that kid out and force him into the Trump-world. There’s jobs everywhere you look. There’s been nothing like this since the 1950s.
If someone can be President at 72 I suppose someone can drive a truck. It is a tough way to go but beats sitting at home on short rations. Just glad that I don’t have to do something like that so far.
“There’s jobs everywhere you look. There’s been nothing like this since the 1950s.”
There is a construction company near me that builds bridges and overpasses.
For the last year they have been begging for laborers and CDL drivers.
Their CDL drivers are making around $60,000 annually and home most weekends.
One of my sons works for a company building conveyor systems. In the last year they have landed two jobs that are the largest in the company’s history.
They are begging for laborers to train upwards.
Everywhere I go I see help wanted signs.
If you can’t land a decent paying job you aren’t trying.
