I was one of those babies, my mom would call my dad (divorced) to drive me around the block to make me fall asleep. I did not get my license until I was 45, the first time I took a drive just for fun, I instantly felt the calmness envelope me. It's like all my troubles were staying quiet suddenly. I have AuDHD and the motion and concentration on outside stuff has such a calming effect it's crazy. If I could I would spend my days driving around. Unfortunately driving jobs don't pay well.
Long haul truck drivers can make good money, especially if you own the truck.
