Complete beginner - pros and cons of driving, educate me

Ive been driving just over a year now. Started out on pallet network and earning minimum wage per hour, and working ■■■■■■■ hard for that money! Just started my second job a few weeks ago and its nights(Which I always said I would never go back to :smiley: ), on £12.30 an hour and its fridge work. Easier job and hell of a lot better pay every week. Plus im actually enjoying nights. Like above, nights there are always closures on routes including last night when a tree had come down and police shut the road.
