Nobody can micromanage you on the road. * Psychologically rewarding if you like kids.
Inconvénients
* No benefits. But, that may change in a year or two. * Good people, but not brightest managers. They'll make errors calculating your pay hours, or forget to communicate. * Rough hours. Must get up pretty early in the morning. Split shift. * Safety requires very regimented rote memorization and drills. Not easy for some people. * Union shop. Dues don't seem well spent.
