[QUOTE="CleverNick, post: 210706, member: 10293"] The big question, that only you can answer, is this: what do you want to do with your life? You have a degree in accounting, and from what I am told by my brother who is an accountant, that is a very in-demand field. If you want to stay in that field and stay with UPS, go to upsjobs.com and search for "Professional Opportunities". I just did the search and there are a few jobs openings there for people with accounting degrees. Most are located in Atlanta, however, and there is no relocation paid for these positions. You can also check with HR to see if there are any other internal job postings for people with accounting degrees. If you want to stay in operations as a manager, then you have to submit a letter of intent, go through the MAPP process, etc. I don't know much about that from personal experience, so I can't help you there. My own personal advice would be to stick to accounting. As I mentioned, the accounting field is very strong, and you can make a good living at it. My brother is a CPA for a small firm. He works like 60 hours/week during tax season, but his firm pays him overtime and for the rest of the year it is pretty much 40 hours/week. Plus, he works in a nice office, the job is fairly low stress, and he has a lot of career options open to him without having to relocate at the drop of a hat. On the other hand, if you have your heart set on being a UPS manager, then go for it. At the end of the day, you are the one who has to live with the decision - not a bunch of anonymous posters!
