[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 176031, member: 4653"] That's my question. Can us, as UPS drivers, make it to 90? I know our bodies won't, but what about our internal organs? Will the stress of the job kill us pretty early? I'm in my early 30's and my stepfather once said to me (before I worked for UPS) that I wouldn't live to 40 based on his perception of how I deal with stress. This was when I was 21. I've learned since how to deal with stress and rarely do I get pissed-off. So, does anyone know if us UPSers live shorter lives due to the intensity of our jobs (hourly and management) compared with the average worker? I know we're not air traffic controllers or our brave soldiers fighting in Iraq, but I think a career at UPS can get very difficult that not everyone can do. We all know it doesn't take too much brains to be a UPS driver (no offense). The fact remains that any pot-head with a HS diploma could make a very good living (as good as a college educated person) with a little hard work. The fact is, none of these pot-heads wishes to work hard. They would rather work at Blockbuster making 10 bucks an hour and live with mom until they're 45, instead of busting their hump, make 65,000 per year (minimum), drive a nice car, nice apartment, and hot chick. No, they want to play "Grand Theft Auto" and raid mom's refrigerator instead. Sad thing is, these are the people who are going to make it to 90 years old because they didn't start working until age 45:lol: [/QUOTE]
