[QUOTE="hardeeflag, post: 1836118, member: 60145"] Hello All. I just got a call to come in for Processing, uniforms and where to attend class instructions next week as a Season Package Driver. Passed background check, road test and physical (for those asking in earlier threads, they did drug testing too). I was given the offer to take the job and I accepted as I m not employed right now and need to work. I have some questions. I am not a young man, I'm 48 but in fairly good condition and healthy. This is my first time going through employment process in over 18 years and is technically my second job (I had a long career in executive management for a smaller company and I have a BA - if that even matters anymore - doesn't seem to). My question is at this age, is it at all possible getting full time and with the time left is it worth pursuing at UPS? I don't have 15 years to wait working season to get full time status or work in wear house for 10 years. I was considering training in the medical field and need to commit this fall. So I ask is this just what it, is seasonal and nothing more? Is UPS a good career choice for someone in their late 40s? I want to honor the term of the job but would you suggest looking for full time work at another job or give this a whirl and see where it take me? I need the work right now, but I need to also work on something with longevity. I don't want to take a job and not honor the term if I get a full time offer somewhere else. I'm old school as far a job hopping - I don't like it. However, if I could get something permanent at UPS over the next year I would stick this out. I appreciate any words of advice. Also I want to keep my self healthy while I'm doing the job, do any of you wear any of those back supports under your uniform? Any other tips for staying healthy and not getting permanently maimed. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
