Why would you want to work in transportation? Besides wanting to earn decent money, we all want to do a job that is worthwhile and has many opportunities. Transportation fits the bill.

The MP3 player magically appears at the store or at your door because of transportation. In fact, transportation brings everything we buy. It allows us to go on vacation or just travel across town. And until we figure out how to “beam” people and stuff from one place to another, transportation is here to stay.

The average pay of transportation related jobs is $43,000 a year. Serious money.

So, the next time you see a truck or a train or a plane go by, think about how the latest video game or fresh-picked strawberries might be onboard.
