[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2107784, member: 50088"] Don't listen to most of the negativity. This is the internet where people notoriously complain. Yet none of these people would ever quit driving. That tells you everything you need to know. You simply cannot make more money/benefits legitimately and think less. The hardest part is going through the usually long process of becoming a driver. You're in the perfect position at just 16 to start that journey assuming you can get hired part time to begin with. It usually takes 2-6 years to get the opportunity. Then qualifying for driving is a 30 day test of your abilities. After that, it's 4 years to get top rate. This sounds like a lot and it is. But there's a very good job at the end. Consider yourself lucky if you get started at 18. Many of us, take me for example, started P/T at 28 and then it took 5.5 years to go driving. I'm now 37 and will just be reaching top rate in 6 weeks. If I could go back to high school and knew about this, I would have tried to get in. Instead, I went to college for 2 separate degrees at which point I no longer wanted to do what I went for. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
