Trouble in paradise..

Posted on Mon, Sep 19 2005 @ 2:11 PM [EST]

Not sure if I have anything worth while enough to say that would merit a "blog".

I'm stressed because my significant other (truck driver) is busting his ass so that I can go to college full time. Which is great that he would do this for me. But I'm Hating college. God it sucks. And I get stuck on the whole, once I graduate (years from now) what is my earning potential going to be? About $12 bucks an hour. *sigh* If I'm lucky enough to get a job after I graduate.

So the thought keeps popping in my head that "hey. I could drive a truck too. Make more than I would graduating from college." I think it's a case of 'grass is greener'. But the thought won't go away.

And this stresses me out, because I can't go back to my boyfriend and say, "You know that whole college thing, the one you busted your ass for, worked 100 hour weeks for... yeah, well.. I hate it, I'm quitting."

How 'bout no.

*sigh* I need a swift kick in the ass!

Sorry to hear your guy is having such a hard time. Trucking is pretty much how you've seen and described it so far. My girlfriend of two years, has been driving (not just riding!) with me for the last year. No worries about getting home or not being together. It takes some work getting used to being so-together all the time! But we're getting married this year, so it's not all bad! The more experience he gets the better the list of companies he can choose from. Teams are in big demand now too, thanks to the new Hours of Service rules. Thanks for the link and check out our other site at adventuresintrucking.com. Good luck on that college decision! Personally, there is good money to be made in trucking if you do it write. Any questions, let me know!
