MIKE,Being a young guy you must look into the future to see what you would like to be doing in the next 30 to 40 years.My advice to you is work smart not hard.Go to school,maybe not collage but a tech school-you don"t have to go that long and you come out making good money right away.Most of the time the school will have placement before you finish.I would recamend motorcycle,boat,small engine school with a smattering of machining thrown in.That way you could get some expierence and then maybe open your own shop working on mowers which could lead to a dealership selling too.My advice about truck driving-DO NOT DO IT-unless you plan on never having a family.My dad drove over the road for most of my childhood and I only saw him on the weekends and that was mostly on the couch sleeping.He would never consider driving OTR an option for me.Young and dumb as I was I started driving for a lumber co.Looking back on it it sucked,but it did land me to where I am today-estimating interior millwork for new homes.Thats just my opinion but keep us posted on what you decide.lol DitchWI
