From my point of view, I work in a supermarket warehouse on minimum wage. Being on the receiving end for 10+ years I always wanted to try the other side. Most drivers I talked to were supportive, some like this thread say don’t bother. But I still chose to train and passed everything, I am still in my warehouse job waiting for an internal transfer but in the meantime I am doing agency every week along side and I’m definitely happier out on the road.
Money wise, there are better paid jobs, there always will be but going from minimum wage to £11 p/h (agency) and up to £12 p/h when I move, that is a huge jump for me so I am happy with that.
