I got a CDL when I was 21. It only cost $300 dollars then but my local driving school does it now for $1000. I also did a welding course ( 2 nights a week for 2 months $300 total) at my local community college in my 20's. Both of these qualifications got me work when unemployment was close to 8%.

Life isn't fair so you have to stack the deck in your favour somehow. Letting people go is just part of business.

Yep
i have a CDL too . Driving jobs are plentiful.
I’m not on furlough but if I was I’d be shifting gears right now to keep the lights on . Not the most glamorous gig , but you can make good money .
Good to have as a backup plan just in case .....
