The median annual wage for a trucker that works for a private fleet, such as a truck driver employed by Walmart, is $73,000, according to ATA. The Labor Department pegs the median annual salary for all truck drivers at around $40,000. But it isn't an easy job to fill. There's 1.6 million truck drivers in America.

it's not an easy job to fill because of the competition?

It'd be better to work on an offshore rig than be a truck driver.

>Of those, about 750,000 are "for hire" truckers, meaning they work for a truck company that's hired by another company, such as a grocery chain, to deliver its product. These truckers are sometimes on the road for 10 days at a time before coming home, Costello says.
>Costello admits that the industry is having the toughest time retaining young workers. Trucking companies also have a tough time recruiting women, who have become a larger part of the workforce than in previous generations.
>To qualify, truckers have to be 21, they must a commercial trucking license and pass a background check and drug test. Those requirements haven't changed in years, experts say.

You need money to go to school and you need an official residence to even register. Most jobs handle pay through direct deposit now which requires a bank account but a bank account requires an existing balance and an address for yourself which obviously a homeless person doesn't have as the name homless would imply. Normally I would consider his statements to be knowingly deceitful and misleading so he can lower taxes and act morally superior about it; however given that he's American I genuinely think he's stupid enough to believe this.
I'm not even proposing welfare, I'm just acknowledging the catch 22 of employment and bettering yourself. You gotta spend money to make money but you gotta have money to begin with.

How will that homeless man pay for school in America?
