To be honest, the truck drivers have better pay than the typical office workers.
But one thing is that a truck driver will always be a driver and will work for life. Meanwhile, office workers with education and degrees just need to work hard, accumulate experience and improve their skills. They will have the opportunity to advance in their career to become department heads or directors with many times higher incomes. Or not stopping there, those with greater ambitions can take advantage of their position, qualifications and relationships from their old company to start a business and become their own boss.
I agree that education and degrees are not the only path to wealth. But in my opinion, people who only have skills and look down on degrees, and think they can make a lot of money, are just short-sighted.
