Help, it seems my 35 year old wife is in MLC #12

I believe that she probably is looking to simplify her life. She may think that it is a mindless job that she could perform without major responsibilities by transporting something from Point A to Point B. When she is off work, she doesnt have to think about work again until she is on the job once again.

Unfortunately, it will probably be nice for her (if she does it) for a very short time. She will get bored pretty quickly if she was used to a more dynamic and involved type of job.

I think you are right on with this. She won't admit it, but I think the stress of her last 2 jobs really got to her. To an extent, I think that stress is a contributor to her MLC.

I think she is really idealizing this job. She has said things to me like;

I like driving a Uhaul truck so I will like being a truck driver

If I was a truck driver, I will be able to work when I want.

I will get paid well as a truck driver.

I can be a truck driver for a couple of years and then get a job with the government teaching other truck drivers.

Companies will want to hire me because I'm a woman.

Something I think she is discounting is that the people she will see on deliveries will not treat like she was treated in her job in the insurance industry. In my experience most truck drivers / delivery drivers are treated like dirt. W really likes to be the best and smartest amoung her peers. She really gets off on "Go see (My W's name), she will know the answer. She just won't get that as a truck driver.

Anyway, it is all speculation. We'll have to see what happens.
