Interesting choice:
>Take 6 week course, job gets taken by robot in 5 years.
>Learn to be one of the very best at both SCUBA and welding, then take extremely high risk, high-paying job, only after years and years of experience.

It would be nice, all you do is listen to audio books. However driving a massive 18 wheeler sounds like too much responsibility.
