strongly considering career change
I am currently looking into various companies to consider a career change. I am really nervous about this because I know alot of companies will jump at the idea of applying with them and actually have applied to a couple. I told them I will call back when I decide the exact time I am wanting to go through schooling.... The problem I have is I have to make sure what I will make during school, training and minimum pay is weekly.. The reason is; I am currently working 2 jobs, 7 days a week on one delivering AJC with no days off unless without pay and the other is substituting for the post office delivering mail for the past 5 years. Right now I see myself in the same position in the next 5 years and is getting tired of it. I don't know what it would be like to not have to go into work at night even if its just one night and I also don't know what it is like to not have to be available for call in at all times.... I have nothing criminal in past and was in the military at one time. The last ticket I had was in 94.... KNOCK ON WOOD......before that was 89 and thats it. no accidents....
I have looked into swift, schneider, crst, cfi , shepard/watkins . but I have to make sure I am not ending up with less than what I have now. I bring home minimum 500/wk but blow about 150/wk gas. not to mention put 100 miles a day on the car and wear and tear on the van for the mail. I do have 2 kids 9& 10 and I understand that they will miss me but I feel like I am constantly taking my 2hrs naps when I am home anyway I think I would have more time with them if I actually have days off even though its after 2-3 weeks....
