Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. Morning, after reading the TQL hack thread, and my income statement from my accountant, I am thinking about leaving the industry. My banker may force me out as well. Probably steal my wife too. But that's neither here nor there. My question is, what career will you choose after leaving the trucking industry? I have it narrowed down to two: 1. Stewardess on an airplane. Get to travel, meet a new wife (stewardesses are known to do stuff), and take mini bottles of booze everywhere i go. 2. Government regulator. It seems like that is the only growing industry right now, so i might as well ride the wave. Plus if Hillary gets elected, that's a guaranteed raise right there. What would you guys choose? thanks, Russ Follow me on Twitter at "Steelwheelsandagravelroad"

I knew a guy that just went to college his whole life, he figured out how to work the system and basically remained a professionl student. He had about eight degrees when I met him college in California, I thought it was funny, but now I am thinking it was actually smart.

I have actually already given this some thought and here is what I have come up with: The Hillary Scenario, I have one and a half years left before my federal retirement. I could take deferred retirement (which is basically quitting my job now and not working until my retirement would kick in at 62), and draw unemployment/food stamps for the next 8 years, until Hillary is out of office. I am assumiing if she gets elected, she will be in office for two terms. After she leaves office my retirement will kick in and I'll be able to survive on that. Doing this will let me run a truck myself now and not have to worry about the driver issues. I havent really got the Trump scenario worked out so I will get back to you when i get it done.

The Hillary Scenario,

I have one and a half years left before my federal retirement. I could take deferred retirement (which is basically quitting my job now and not working until my retirement would kick in at 62), and draw unemployment/food stamps for the next 8 years, until Hillary is out of office.
