Truck drivers are getting replaced by autonomous vehicles within the next decade.

OP,

Do a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

Have you considered moving to the United States? You could make 3-4 times that amount per year driving trucks. The cost of living is higher but so is the standard of living.

Unfortunately I found something about optometrist but it's 1 job only.

Should I try it or should I choose truck driving?

Look on sites like craigslist/kijiji for services that people are selling in develop d countries, figure out what seems tolerably unpleasant, and work for a company to learn those skills - eventually start your own company and sell those services yourself.

Its shocking how much even cleaning ladies make in major metropolitan cities. If you can bypass the middle men and market the skills directly to consumers yourself there’s a lot more of the pie leftover.

Wolly,

Is that where you’re planning to go to college, or would you go to college in Romania and emigrate to Greece after that?

Make sure licensing boards in Greece honor the certificates from your current country.
