6 years ago, after I had been unemployed for nearly a year, I was looking into anything and everything. I had just turned 40 at the time.
I kept hearing all the different trucking industry job ads where "no experience necessary, we'll train you to get your CDL". Perfect, I applied to every single one I could find.
Crickets. I remember 2 callbacks, both of which resulted in a bunch of empty promises. Never once got an in-person interview.
They didn't want the old guy at the time, but I bet they would be all over me now. bubblegum 'em. They are reaping what they have sewn for decades now.
Nobody wants to work bubblegum hours, wages and deal with nonsense government regulations and requirements to do a simple job when McDonald's will pay you more to get orders wrong and you get to be home every night.
