What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

Euro truck simulator is really cool IMO. Living in the united states I haven't had the chance to travel Europe, and ETS is sorta like traveling lol Plus the Europeans get all the cool cabover trucks that aren't available here.

When you buy Euro Truck Sim, resist the urge to start in England right away. Any long distance bonus hauls require you to take a ferry to mainland europe and require $ and time. Most loads have that time accounted for, but its annoying and the rest of europe will be a mix of left and right hand drive. More often than not I was on the wrong side and kept getting dinged for blind spot smashes.

Oh and the in-cab customization is way more elaborate. And the DLC adds multiple countries. The later the release date of the DLC, the better and more detailed it usually is. Ibera DLC adds Spain and Portugal and is currently the highest rated/most recent, with Road to the Black Sea being second adding Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey. Crazy views out there. Well worth it.

Get a TrackIR to get really immersive. I've got a couple hundred hours over the years.

Euro is very fun, but you have to be very focused. You look away for two seconds and you're veering off to the side of the road. I can't speak for the multiplayer, never tried it (my copy came from... questionable places), but just singleplayer has been great so far.

I haven't played American.

just free roam to explore without a trailer.

That's all I wanna do, but I haven't earned my way up there yet.

RemindMe! 2 hours to watch Euro or American truck sim on Twitch, and then to buy it if I like it.

I've got both and enjoyed ETS2 for a while but ETS2 just feels too easy after a while. The trucks are more powerful, the loads are lighter, and the dropoff locations are all huge with endless room for maneuvers.

So now I only play ATS except for occasionally.

I used to play that all the time. I'm planning to get back into it once Wyoming comes out.

Wyoming? There'll be nothing there!

Wyoming is a long haul trucker's wet dream.
