Back up a little. I thought that their new choice in profession was genuinely interesting and wanted to hear them talk more about it. Obviously they chose a different route because trucking wasn’t making them happy.
Don’t be so presumptive in saying that I should just infer things rather than asking questions. This is supposed to be a place for meaningful discussions.
Since puberty people have told I have a voice for radio, so the original idea was “I bet I could get on the radio to tell fart jokes and try to push my taste in music on the world” but the radio class was full. So I accepted the spot in TV and liked the technical side of things, so I stuck with it.
I was driving a school bus for 3 years to keep myself available for opportunities that came up. I’m now working an entry-level position for a big broadcaster, making more per-hour than I ever did trucking. I have some other freelance work as well, so I quit the school bus last month. So, the change is complete? I dunno, doesn’t feel like I’m there yet, but I’m feeling good about it.
quite the changeup, what made you decide on video production?
You can infer from their previous comment that it is because it makes them happier.
Trucking business sucks and is massively exploitative, well, I guess that makes it similar to every other business.

True, I hope my comment didn’t come across as me shutting you down, I was intending to add not subtract.
Sorry about that.
Thank you for being respectful, and I appreciate you saying that. Consider it nothing.
Floating goals, really 🤷🏻♂️
