So I've decided to pursue a CDL A manual & automatic trucking license. It's something I've wanted to do for several years now, since at least 2020. I love being on the road, I enjoy seeing and meeting new American places and people, and I love the idea of working on my own without much oversight. Naturally I immediately quit halfway through my first day at trucking school, but I'm going to try to see this through. Was not expecting backing up the truck to be as difficult as it was, and apparently it's going to get considersbly more difficult upon reaching the air brakes section of the course. So I have a newfound respect for truck drivers. I'm also planning to obtain the A+ certification and the Network+ after that. I think I'll enjoy studying the Core 2 material for the A+ far more than Core 1 material. And then I'd be happy to work as a truck/bus driver or as a computer technician. This is the path I should have taken as a teenager, because formal schooling wasn't ever really for me. Not that it's for anybody. But it wasn't for me either. Recently I searched on Google something along the lines of: what can I do to quickly get employed? And both the A+ and CDL came up in the summary. Two decent options that won't break the bank. We'll see how things go from here.
