That low variance is double-edged. There is a cap to being a lorry driver, whereas for a developer you can make anything from under minimum wage to billions of dollars.
Being a developer also has a higher status, which I don’t personally care about but I have found to be useful in life.

Then, you're no longer a developer, but rather a business owner and operator - something that a lorry driver can do as well. Also, there's probably larger chance of success in starting a company in logistics than in software.
