[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1006196, member: 12570"] On the surface, yes, but if you stop and think about it for a second it is a valid (or is that [B]in[/B]valid) one. The 50 year old employee with 21 years of service is [B]handicapped[/B] by his lack of a college degree and/or formal training and would be at a disadvantage in an already tight labor market and would be hard pressed to "get up and walk" out of the chair, which would be FedEx. I have my 4 year and 9 hours towards a Masters but have not been in a classroom since 1989. I would need at least 2 years to refresh my education. My work experience would be my only advantage over all of the new college graduates I would be competing against if I were to ever decide I've had enough. I think I'll stay where I am even though the job gets worse with each passing day. [/QUOTE]
