[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 697430, member: 12570"] Part of any decision making process is asking for advice from others, which you have done, but ultimately the decision will be yours. p228 gave you some good advice. I would add that perhaps rather than try to open and run your own gym you may look for a current gym owner who may be looking for a partner. This would give you an expanded role in running a gym beyond that of a trainer. You may also look to manage their gym for them without having to deal with the business aspect of doing so thus freeing you up to do what you enjoy. I have been a driver for 21 years. I was an off the street hire so never worked on the inside. UPS has provided me with a comfortable lifestyle and helped me put my 2 kids through college and will ensure a comfortable retirement. The pay and benefits are among the best in the industry. The focus has shifted from the customer to numbers. Technological monitoring is becoming common place and the ability of the driver to make decisions and think for themselves has been taken away. Several of my co-workers and I have nicknamed the new DIAD upgrades "UPS for Dummies" as they basically walk you through your day from the moment you punch in to the moment you punch out. I would be hard pressed to recommend this job to anyone. [/QUOTE]
