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.

They can also be business owners if they're able to make themselves as boss of truckers. Many things they can do, make an agency for truck drivers and send them to the companies and they're the ones that will be getting paid for that and they get a commission for managing them. Because they know how the field goes as an actual truck driver. And the other possible business that they can do once they're done with their driving career is to make their own truck fleet.

The employee mentality and the businessman mentality will be different in their approach to education. I no longer think of changing my own direction after all my degrees - but something about the future of my children is my responsibility now.

I will not really expect my child to be a permanent employee somewhere that gives him a monthly salary without a big hope of becoming rich from it - but I will try to change it in my own way so that they can get the best. The role of parents is to educate and direct them to be useful and productive - not just to be employees.

That's what we should do as parents. We need to hone them and train them while they're young to be entrepreneurs and not employees. But when they're grown up, they are still the one to choose their path.

Now recently a good argument is going to be on between skills and degree but nothing is clear because both sides are having their own views which are working, and they are doing stuff which needed to be done, but one thing is sure college programs have never been make you rich is right. Here need some good things as well which always helps for having better life and increased income because just holding college degree never allow being successful needs experience and skills which also increase chances while if you are skilled but had no degree this is still better place for you to enjoy your life.

Traditional mindset is now having no place because things are going more competitive and life is having more challenges which needs to stay in touch for all without having this traditional mindset which always stopped being revolutionary in life and fight hard for better challenges.

I think that people of the world have realized that it's no longer about titles and such. As long as we make good money with the trade that we have, that's the important thing. An employee or a businessman, with college degree or not, as long as it brings food to the table and it's stable, that's all the matters to most nowadays.
