[QUOTE="quamba 638, post: 1128313, member: 46468"] I've worked at ups part-time for 9 years. I've worked my full/time job for over 6 years- warehouse work. I average 900 hours at UPS and 2100 hours at my full time job each year. i make nowhere near 90k. Between me an my wife we have a house and and couple vehicles. Nothing nice, but sufficient. I work 6am- 2:30 pm then from about 5:30 pm -9:30pm. Busting my ass. I need to have insurance (good insurance) that's why I work both jobs. My other job offers a few different insurance packages that are horrible in comparison to UPS. There are guys at my full time job paying 300 dollars out of each check/ every two weeks for family coverage. 600 dollars a month and they STILL have a deductible! I try to look at the bright side of things. My full time job offers 401k match, UPS offers a pension and free insurance.
