[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 456991, member: 11315"] Going into PT management is easy and will make you less tired for school because you will not be doing the manual labor you are accustomed to. With you being a valuable employee, your belt or building will take a hit when you leave and you'll have to train new employees how to do what you do. Going into management will also look great on your resume when you apply to schools for a master's degree or another job opportunity in your field. Growing leadership qualities in yourself can prepare you for taking that next step in your life. Also, you can still get college reimbursement. It sounds like you are not going to be a UPS lifer anyways, so the experience you get doing this will help. You will get a pay increase, but only be paid once a month (I think they changed that, check on it). You will probably work 45 minutes before you usually do, and 45 minutes after close. You will be asked to commit to at least a year as a supervisor as well, but the only thing they can do to you is not give you great feedback. You are in college, so don't even worry about the test. There's some math but also a lot of situational questions where you show what you would do. I made a lot of friends doing it, and it was worth my 3 years. You make what you put into it. Just make sure you go the union hall and freeze your membership. It will keep from you having to pay back dues if you decide to go FT driving, which is what I did. [/QUOTE]
