[QUOTE="WifeofUPSer, post: 1216789, member: 45916"] I don't have any of the answers that you are looking for but I did want to say that I think it's great that you're looking for a career and you are willing to locate. My husband is actually the upser- he's been with the company roughly 14 years. Started pt in college and he is an on road sup and currently on special assignment. He graduated with a Bachelors of science and his next step was the Mcats for medical school. I will say he has always regretted not going into medical school but he is a dedicated worker to ups. It is a very demanding job and you will work a lot of hours. I know management is different then driving for hours- he puts in around 60 a week and more for peak. Plus you guys get overtime :) Driving will wear your body down so be smart with your money and save save save for retirement. You started young as so did he so he will retire when he's 55. I just met a driver at our local hub and he's very close to retiring at a young age because he started when he was 17. I don't remember his age but I do think my husband told me he was in his late 40's. He will continue to work in a different field but he will have the leisure to do so at his will. So if you know this is what you want- go for it and don't let anyone tell you you're making the wrong choice. Ask anyone you feel can give you some guidance. I feel as though what is the worst that can happen? They give you a smart remark or they could possibly help guide you to the right person to get the info. Best of luck to you! [/QUOTE]
