I am a 23 yr old female single mother with a son who is almost 2 yrs old. I have always wanted to be a truck driver because I LOVE DRIVING and they make good money without having to wear those fancy skirts everyday.
Right now, I am unemployed and seriously in debt. I am blessed to even still have my lights on...yeah it is that bad. But I have been faced with the opportunity of attending truck driving school in St. Louis with MTC. They say I will have a guaranteed job before I even go to training.
But of course any mother must have a solid plan. So here it goes...
Say that I ask my son's father to keep my son while I work to get us a better financial life. I attend that school and start working for the company they assign me to and I work for them for approx 3 years. That will give me the means to pay off my debt, especially since I won't need to rent a apartment or own a car and can save money to buy a house during that time. And then use my OTR experience to find a local driving job...just in time for my son to begin Kindergarten.
Am I thinking reality or fantasy....How would it really work?
