[QUOTE="blue efficacy, post: 633808, member: 6435"] UPS insurance is most certainly better than your parents' insurance. Also, people love to rag on our generation. A lot of you people started at UPS back when 8.50 was a decent wage! Unless you're lucky, very skilled in a particular area, or have two incomes, making it on one's own isn't as easy as it used to be. But feel free, blame the victim, we just feel so entitled after all. A lot of good, blue collar, union jobs have disappeared over the last 20 years. The opportunities to go out and make a decent living when done with high school (or in many cases, even college!) just are not what they once were. Granted, for the most part I am making it on my own, it's a struggle but I do it. Working at UPS, going to school, and dealing with type 1 diabetes certainly isn't easy, but I do it. My parents are kind enough to help me out when I face an unexpected major expense. I am also skilled at the game of blackjack, and without my winnings quite frankly I wouldn't be able to make it on my own at present. Even when I am done with school later next year, I am not optimistic. That said, I await more republican replies blaming the victim. [/QUOTE]
