<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

Next month, I might be leaving for a school 4 hours away in another state so I can get my CDL. I would take a class at home, but we currently live off one paycheck so no money for a $3-$5K school in town. Thing is, this school has a 3 month training period plus a year I need to work with them. They do allow home time during training, but I won't have my car so making my family to come visit me. The whole time I'm on the road, I'm getting paid and it's quadruple what my girlfriend is getting paid right now so it's great. I'll only be going if I don't get a job here in town.

We're not used to living away from each other so it's a touchy subject with her. We've had a month to talk about it and everyone is supportive, including her, it's just hard to think of me being gone. I don't plan to do this as a living, just so I can get my training. I plan that once I'm done, I'll get a job in town.

Any advice from couples that have dealt with this type of situation?
<bot>: Possibly leaving for a year for school that includes job w/ great pay. GF supportive, but we're both sad. Not used to distance. Advice?
