[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 2341173, member: 31414"] We all have a Ph.D. from the University of Parcel Services commonly known as the "Package Handling Degree" ;-) ....... My personal roadmap in life included earning an M.S. in Limnology as a part-timer and then starting my own business... Having your own business is both rewarding and also full of various headaches at times.... There are times I have regretted not going driving and then there are times I'm glad I didn't. Having a degree as a driver certainly opens several doors in the future if you decide to go into management. Basically it gives you a few more options in life regardless of what your degree may be in. The trouble with driving today is that many individuals are not starting their driving career until later in life, thereby making a 30 year full-time retirement very difficult if not impossible. The future of the Union is also something that would concern me along with competition from Amazon, etc........ so don't throw away that piece of "paper" just yet. I agree with others.....college is big business and the number of degrees handed out is far too many for the number of good jobs available. I remember the day when you would hear "To get a good job.....get a good education".... The Amish here in Ohio go to the eighth grade and do extremely well in both their business and personal life. (for the most part). [/QUOTE]
