[QUOTE="exupser87, post: 515089, member: 22163"] preloader, I think you are in a good position, even though it may not seem that way to you. There are thousands of UPS management and drivers that bailed out of school, and put all of their eggs in the UPS basket. That is a big reason that you see in these posts that others cannot find a job to replace their UPS job with - finacially, they don't measure up. Why ? These folks are not qualified for other openings in other companies. Part time supervision would probably not work out for you unless you are going to grad. school. I don't know how things work these days at UPS, but I would think there are still provisions in the contracts now that limit the number of management that are allowed to go driving, as the union obviously doesn't want their members to be put on the back burner while they promote all of their favorite part time supervisors. That move could cost you in the future, as even if they were willing, the contract provision could force you to wait when the time comes. Most folks don't realize how diverse UPS is, and I can promise you they have a need for finance folks. You need to put out some "feelers" and try to track down some finance folks within UPS and see if they can share a little time with you - if you decide that you can meld your finance education with UPS. You are thinking in terms of the jobs that you are familiar with. There are FAR MORE jobs at UPS that you are unfamiliar with, than ones you ARE familiar with. Be a pest. Nothing asked, nothing answered. UPS does a poor job of putting out information on nonpackage jobs, so you NEED to do some legwork to find these people. Don't forget - people love to talk with others about what they do if the requestor has an interest. You can find people you've never met that will warm up real quick when they realize you are considering their venue. Not ALL, but in my experience, UPS operations managers are generally not too bright, and that's why I finally left. You have seen a small slice of UPS.
