I have a class B and drive a garbage truck but I’m getting seriously burned out. I know it’s not OTR or anything but I think driving in and of itself leads to burnout faster than most jobs.

So, for those of you that have left driving behind, what do you do now? One of the things I like about my job is the pay and the autonomy. But, the repetitiveness of driving the same route everyday is getting boring and the stresses of winter driving have really gotten to me. I’d like to do something else but I’m 54 and don’t really think there’s much in the way of opportunity outside of truck driving where I have job security. What other options are there?

I finally opened a checking account for my 13 yo as he’s been wanting to earn money this year. I’m happy that he’s motivated to do this because 1) it teaches him self reliance and 2) it teaches him financial literacy.

my question for you other parents out there, what was your teen’s first job? My son wants to mow lawns with one of his friends but he needs a reality check first when it comes to delegating responsibility and who gets what. I feel like making money with a friend on the side is tricky because at 13 teens don’t really understand payment options, splitting profits, division of labor, etc. I guess my other question is, are there jobs that a 13 yo can do by themselves that dont require a “business partner”?
