I am currently on the D.E.P. for the marines, for Aviation Mechanics, but I've been thinkin.... I'm only going to be making 17k a year. I currently work at wendys and make 13k a year. I'm thinkin of truck driving Because of the job availabity, and the money I can make. 45k plus a year. I dont want to make the wrong decision and regret it later.
