Paul McCartney Fantasized About 'Going on Long Journeys' as a 'Faith-Filled' Truck Driver

Paul McCartney’s destiny was to be a musician. That didn’t stop the Beatles bassist from considering other types of employment as a young man, however. He considered several options. One, however, seemed very idealistic and practical, much like McCartney himself. The musician once dreamed of becoming a “faithful” truck driver “going long distances”.

Per Britannica, McCartney’s young life in Liverpool, England was typical of the working class. His father Jim worked at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange. Mother Maria was a midwife.

The McCartney extended family were all hard workers who also knew how to have fun. Jim was the leader of Jim Mac’s Jazz Band and passed his love of music on to his two sons, Paul and Michael. However, the senior McCartney believed that while making music was a nice hobby, a full-time life as a musician was not the way to support a family. So he begged his son to find a permanent, full-time job.
