Trucking is not bad, if you could do it good enough (I mean health reasons, not all people capable, for example many truck drivers I know, have issues with alcohol, because too much stress on roads).

But I think, even if AI grow will be moderate from now, we could not avoid autonomous trucks (4 level of autopilot, as defined in wikipedia) in nearest 5 years, and I think, in 2030s, autonomous trucks will literally eat people jobs.

I think, you will have extremely more chances, if you could become entrepreneur (now I mean, not by health but if you like this type of work). - Management, and decision making is very high valued now, and if you somewhere could run your own business, is even better.

Any way, in real life, people are not equal - choose way, where your weakness is minimal issue (or just not significant), but where your strengths will be total win.

Example, I also have some autistic issues. Once I have made fine print dump of 1200+ win32 functions (it is easy to intercept, but all of them have tricky interface with not big, but not simple and not straightforward structures, so I have looked in docs and on real data and to figure out, how to dump real data, not dynamic pointers to nowhere).

i've thought about that, trucking could be vulnerable to AI in the next few years...but after Starsky closed, I dunno. Lots of AV shops are kinda in doubt, but we'll see.

thanks for the advice.

BTW, about AV shops, even more interest thing happening - I hear, after just cup of years mass production Tesla EV's, appeared huge demand on EV mechanics.
