If your dream career has nothing to do with being a professional truck driver, why would you even consider it? Here's why: it will pay for the schooling of your "dream" career.

The average job for a typical college student pays about 8 bucks an hour, without benefits. Even at full time, that's barely enough to cover rent and food, much less books and tuition. Truck driving, however, has an average starting pay of about $17/hour, plus benefits if you're working full time.
