Years Experience: 20 years or more (Canada)

I am a 25 + year Transport driver Canada/US. I have come to love my job due to comprimise. There are a lot of things in my life that I have left behind me. In my experience, family is most important. It's Too late to negotiate when their gone. Money is second. You have to earn enough that when you do get home you can relax. No one (even your loved ones) wants to hear your job woes.

Now, if you can find that Balance, You've got the right job for you.

In a service related Red Seal Trade - there are no set hours and not very good for family life. Life pressures - work loads and work uncertainty cause long hours during summer and demand times. It becomes difficult to find a balance in life. Extensive schooling to be the best in your field - typically 5-10 years of apprenticeship time and multi licensing is required with continual upgrades and mandatory re certification. Money is not as it should be with all of the training and responsibility. What other job can you be fined for by a governing agency - not many.
