Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I went from trucking to video production. I’m a freelancer now, which is weird to me. I’m still starting out, which is tough at 40 but hey… I’m doin’ it. 🤷🏻♂️
quite the changeup, what made you decide on video production?
You can infer from their previous comment that it is because it makes them happier.
Trucking business sucks and is massively exploitative, well, I guess that makes it similar to every other business.
Floating goals, really 🤷🏻♂️
Since puberty people have told I have a voice for radio, so the original idea was “I bet I could get on the radio to tell fart jokes and try to push my taste in music on the world” but the radio class was full. So I accepted the spot in TV and liked the technical side of things, so I stuck with it.
I was driving a school bus for 3 years to keep myself available for opportunities that came up. I’m now working an entry-level position for a big broadcaster, making more per-hour than I ever did trucking. I have some other freelance work as well, so I quit the school bus last month. So, the change is complete? I dunno, doesn’t feel like I’m there yet, but I’m feeling good about it.
Back up a little. I thought that their new choice in profession was genuinely interesting and wanted to hear them talk more about it. Obviously they chose a different route because trucking wasn't making them happy.
Don't be so presumptive in saying that I should just infer things rather than asking questions. This is supposed to be a place for meaningful discussions.
True, I hope my comment didn't come across as me shutting you down, I was intending to add not subtract.
Sorry about that.
Thank you for being respectful, and I appreciate you saying that. Consider it nothing.
