Trucking job to start?
Hello,
I am 16 and starting to plan my Real Estate goals. I was looking into jobs to start off with to save capital, surprisingly truck driving came up.
In Texas a driver makes 150-200k a year. Do u think this would be a good career to start in for 5-10 years to grow and save capital, then begin investing in RE?

@Tikvah Schlissel
As a truck driver for 3 and a half years in Texas I can tell u that u numbers r way too high.
I made $63k last year as a company truck driver.
Other than that I think u on the right track trying to make some capital first before u jump in real estate.
That’s exactly what I’m trying to do now.
Good luck brother
