Class B w/ NEW Restriction upon adding new endorsement

I drove a School Bus for 10 yrs. Restrictions: none. Endorsements: Passenger, School Bus. Upon losing my job, I planned on adding a Tank (N) endorsement as there is a good bit of fracking going on around here which requires tank trucks to haul water in/out. Upon passing the knowledge test, my new license "sprouted" a New Restriction: Class B or C Bus Only. I'm told I have to re-test in the vehicle I want to drive. I do not have access to a tank truck or a delivery truck or any other commercial vehicle. As a result, I have to pay a driving school $1800 just to get rid of the restriction so I can work. It would cost ~$4000 to re-test as Class A. Does this sound right? I have no savings other than a small IRA. As I am "only" 53, I have to pay 30% to the IRS for the honor. Over the past 9 mos., I don't see much call for jobs w/Class B. I'm wondering if I'm just wasting time/$$ on staying with the Class B. Help!! I need to work!!
