Software Developer Becomes Ice Road Trucker
By Howard Young | June 8, 2008
Watch tonight, 9 PM ET/PT, and you’ll see how I tossed in my career as a Software Developer and became one of the top stars in Ice Road Trucker.
Joking …
Sometimes you have weird dreams like tossing in the towel and taking a life of a less stressful job like a Truck Driver making runs up and down the frozen lakes of Yellowknife Canada.
I only know of a developer who actually tossed in the towel. He and his wife sold their house at one of the California housing peaks in the late 80’s. Quit their jobs and moved to Canada. Eventually got bored and took a job as a bus boy.
He resumed his development career after he figured out that he was taking the same amount of carp but was getting paid 10x less.
But my Ice Road Trucker dream is still a reality and I’m planning to take off one winter to see if I can at least drive 18-wheels as good as four. I’m sure that Hugh Rowland would hire me to drive one of his trucks.
Now how do I get this thing out of first gear?
