I know of a job for which there is a significant shortage of applicants. This job offers a solid middle class income and does not require a college degree, nor does it require living in a particular place. One of my oldest friends from yeshiva has had this job for forty years and has put his sons and daughters through yeshivas and seminaries and has made fine shidduchim for all of them.
No, it’s not Amway. The job is over-the-road truck drivers. Motor freight is still a growing industry and there is a serious shortage of drivers. Freight companies are litterally begging for applicants, either as company drivers or owner/operators.
Yes, there is a down side being that a driver is away from home for days at a time and the job is, lets face it, not as safe as sitting behind a desk. On the other hand, the apy is pretty good and there is an opportunity for starting one’s own business.
