Sorry but as you wrote
“I’m currently in what’s seen as a ‘good career’ and comes with a decent ‘status symbol’ in society”
It sounds like you care too much about other people’s perception of you and your job far too much. And care about your job being some sort of status symbol.
I’d say being a truck driver really isn’t for you, too many people do it because it’s a job that can pay pretty well with very little experience and training. Many do it because they love driving etc. Different things make different people tick.
There is far too much stereotyping that goes on in life, everyone should be their own person, do what makes them happy and be the person they want to be.
