[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 89865, member: 484"] See, its little things like that, where people want a truthful answer, and they forget some of the little things that make a big difference. UPS is a good career. Many people go into management, some dont. Many go into feeders, some dont. To each, you find your niche. The money is good, the benefits are great, at least for now. So a career here is not such a bad thing, regardless of how many others feel. Now the question of your knee. If there was more than a scrape to the skin, more like tissue damage to the joint etc, then you really need to rethink UPS as a career. If you start with damage to your knees, after 10-15 years it will magnify the problem. Instead of being sore once in a while, it will keep you awake at night. So if the damage was that serious to your knee as you make it out to be, then I would not go into a career with UPS unless you have your sights set on management. And if so, a college background will help in that path. So stay in school, work part time, get your degree, then make your move to what ever you WANT to do, or physically can do. By the way, we have some routes that only have 30-35 stops, and 40-50 packages, so there are many different ways to protect your knees as a driver also. Not all of them are bump and grind routes. d [/QUOTE]
