[QUOTE="pickup, post: 541415"] Junior93, gostiler, tieguy and sleeve , amongst others, gave some very good advice in reference to this job and your ultimate goal of driving. I suppose you can treat all of the advice given to you as a buffet table and take what appeals to you and leave the rest to the side. I know that many here are recommending schooling beyond high school . That may not appeal to you but nowadays, a college degree is equal to what a high school degree used to be and many jobs that used to require the high school degree now require the college degree. A compromise might be a 2 year degree. If not, the trade school route sounds promising . Something practical like plumbing, etc. Even if you never formally enter the trade , you might learn how to fix your own boiler and pipes in the future. Again, buffet table, you don't like , you don't take. You will build up a heckuva of work ethic, thick skin , working at ups and I wish you all the luck. Again I think it is great that a 16 year old is giving thought to his future as opposed to many who will just let the future run into them like a mac truck. Maybe by starting so young, your body and youthful vigor can compensate for some of the b.s. [/QUOTE]
