I thought about making the same move but quickly dropped the idea when I see this:

The average salary for a truck driver is $24.98 per hour in Montréal, QC.

That's less than a third of my cash compensation.

I do wish getting a non programming laid back day job so that I can program happily in my free time. I kinda gave up the idea to find a programming job that I love to do -- it's just technically too tough to get into one of those low level programming jobs.

Average on what? I'm sure my truck driving skill is less than the average truck drivers.
