Just a short note to say thanks to all who responded - it's amazing what
you
can learn on the internet! Sounds like my friend might be better off
becoming a trucker...

He'd probably earn money more between now and retirement age if he does.
That's always assuming getting a license to drive trucks doesn't cost an arm
and a leg like it does over here in the UK.
