Would you recommend HGV driving as a career choice?

I for one have had a belly full of it nowadays. I am on bulk tippers now and I thought it would be a doddle of a job. How wrong I was, shunting on the docks was not that great either and I thought both of these would be better. Unfortunately the job has really taken the downward slope, only thing going for it at the moment is the money. But that isnt really enticing enough in itself as you can be miserable on a grand a week. I would take a good £500 per week 40 hour job over any driving any day of the week. It is not a career and is certainly not a 9 to 5 gig either. Anyone investing in their future should certainly look elsewhere and put their money into other types of training. Sorry to say but it is a dead end job for dead end people. People who are desperate for work and money can get an easy fix with driving but it isnt a long term fix.
