In Chile, the salary of a truck driver It can be surprisingly competitive, especially when compared to some careers that require a professional degree.
According to an analysis by SOS Group, a human resources firm, truck drivers, who are responsible for transporting cargo on roads both during the day and at night, can expect to earn between $900,000 and $1,100,000 net per month. This salary It is determined by factors such as experience and possession of a class A5 driver’s license, which is mandatory to perform this job.
This type of work does not require a college degree, but it does require considerable experience and specialized training. The demand for skilled drivers is high, which contributes to the salary is above the average for other jobs without a degree. In addition, the nature of the work, which often involves long hours on the road and variable conditions, also justifies the salary range offered.

This contrast leads many to reconsider the relationship between higher education and job opportunities.

It requires dedication, ongoing training, and in some cases, taking on the risks associated with working on the road. However, for those looking for a well-paid alternative without the need for a professional degree, this profession can be an attractive option.
