Its true I use to drive a tractor trialer in my early
20s in the early 90's and was in a union making 11.50
to start and overtime after 8 hours not 40. I went to
school got a degree always love computers even in high
school and decided that was my field. Now I make about
3$ hr more then my wages were back then. My hight
paying job I had untill I was laid off 4 months ago
was 18.00 hr. I still have my license and wonder still
if I should go back and drive. There are shortages of
drivers in FL the weather is at least nicer then here
in Buffalo,NY and maybe the IT wanges might be higher
too!
