truck driver to drive a trash truck for 90k
The truck driver has a CDL and sits inside the truck the entire route.

At some point, you might think it would make sense as an overall society, to start encouraging young able bodied individuals, who are done with high school and fully qualified and capable of moving on to earn something like an MBA, to put that off for a few years and do something like drive a garbage truck. Make enough to pay your way through college, move on and get your MBA.

I mean, I didn't drive a garbage truck, but I did enough manual type labor when I was younger that I look not unfondly at it these days, and even often longingly.

Do they let you deal out the truck?

If I’m a truck driver, can I do a hybrid schedule and get some mental health days?

As someone with degrees, let me say with HEAVY emphasis in my voice
not having a degree is not the same thing as being uneducated

Neither is having a degree these days. Honestly one of the least impressive accomplishments in America now.
