So, I was debating on posting this. I am a trucker. Not over the road, I am home every night. So, with me being home every night, I of course show up to a terminal or workplace every morning just like most people before doing my route for the day. Well, about a week or so ago before all the morning shift drivers headed out we had to do a meeting with all of the managers (we have 6 of them, middle management is ridiculous where I work) Basically we were berated for 30 minutes straight saying that we are lazy, we all call in too much, we all show up too late, and that we should be grateful to work at said company.

After thinking for a long time I have decided I would like to change careers to long distance driving, and have already found a possible job, but I am worried about wasting my degree and experience at company. Should I consider changing careers or stick with HVAC.
