It matters not what you do for a living as long as you find it absorbing and challanging, sadly many who have better ability settle for the mundane.

So they'd be bored travelling around, seeing different parts of the country, meeting different people, resolving challenges that present themselves? Only someone who has never done the job can claim you don't need a certain amount of intelligence, mainly for problem solving and ingenuity. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

I'm sure there are trucking jobs just like you describe. But what percentage? I doubt many of the guys driving supermarket trucks and spending their non driving time sitting in a depot are particularly fullfilled. B2003 |
