I have the most beautiful, new baby girl along with the most beautiful wife!!! I have a mortgage and a small car payment along with household expenses. I currently make 23k a year and my wife is staying home for at least the first 2 years with our daughter because she was born 2 months early. A CDL will get me a job making at least $42k a year. The downside, I won't be home much during the 5 month class and I may not like the job as much as my current job, though it pays less. I am a family man, 35 years young. One income is hard, but I love coming home to my wife and baby every day and spending quality time with them on the weekends! A trucking job will pay more, but I will be away from them, which to me is heartbreaking! My wife had c-section so I cook and clean when I get off work so she can concentrate on our baby. I am an aspiring cartoonist, so I'm hoping some of my work will pay off soon for us. But also with a CDL, I can work locally. So what should I do?
