[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1163436, member: 43436"] When I was growing up, my dream was to join a flight school within the military. I can recall the conversation I had as a HS senior with a recruiter: HIM: Tell me about yourself. Do you play sports? Are you athletic? Are you popular? ME: No, but... HIM: Well, if you're lucky, maybe you'll get to clean the airplane. Wouldn't it be cool if everybody was afforded an opportunity based on merit? OTOH, I moved out after HS, worked 2-3 jobs - including UPS - to pay my bills and spent my freetime mentoring underprivileged middle school students. And now I have to work with UPS's ex-military hiring spree, including a 23-year-old who earned $25K bonuses doing multiple tours in Iraq, earning $80K + free housing/meals in Norfolk during his final year. I'm grateful for his services, but he was compensated fairly for it; I don't owe the world to him and I believe I've done well for myself. My parents were well off but I rejected the silver spoon..... [/QUOTE]
