I love how you said that being a school bus driver is rewarding because it gives us the opportunity to make the kids’ day. Now that my kids are grown, I’ve been thinking about pursuing training for a job so I can make some extra money.

I agree when you mentioned being a bus school driver will provide you the satisfaction of knowing that you are apart of the development of the future generation. My uncle is about to retire from his job and he is thinking to work with children since he never had the chance to have his own kids. I will suggest him to become a school bus driver and perform a DOT physical test so he will increase his chances to become one. http://aculashealth.com/services/dot-physical/
