Okay so, my boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly 3 months, and our relationship has progressed at a rapid rate. Things just feel different this time..Just, right. I know, that probably sounds crazy. We have just signed for an apartment together and are currently dealing with both having to commute to work and dealing with training his dog(which I posted in r/dogtraining for help on because it's really a big stressor for us).. Now he's wanting to add another stressor, which he sees as helping; becoming a truck driver. 

He wants to go to school and use his GI Bill (we are both army vets) to get his CDL, so he can start driving trucks. He sees it as providing more money than if we both stayed in our current jobs. I'm a security officer and he's a CNC Machiner(they cut steel with fire.) 

Problem is, I know the stigmas about truck drivers. At the plant I work at, I deal with them on a daily basis...And I must say, I really don't want my boyfriend to end up like them. I also see it as I would much rather be struggling with bills and having my boyfriend home every night than to have him gone and to not be worried about paying bills.

I'm dealing with a lot of social anxiety since I returned home in Dec 2011 from the army. I don't like going around crowds alone, and I certainly don't like being alone for long periods of time. He struggles with crowds. But when he's around it's like there's a filter, and I can handle it so much better. I am almost completely back to the way I was before the army. 

Sorry, getting off of track here. Point is...

I don't like the idea of my boyfriend becoming a truck driver. Am I overreacting? I don't want him to end up like the other

I don't want my boyfriend to be a truck driver and waste his GI Bill getting his CDL, and I don't know how to deal
