Nurses forum group degrades UPS drivers and our salary

Might I recommend crna.

She's in the PHD program.

When the "kid" is 28 and "making bank" it is time to let them take care of their own business.

He may be actually doing his daughter a disservice as she would be allowed to write off the student loan interest on her taxes.

He probably lets her take the deduction too.

He probably lets her take the deduction too.

Is that even possible?

 

[brownmonster]

Is that even possible?

Yes. If the loan is under her name and he is paying it she could claim the interest deduction.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yes.

So the loan(s) are in her name and he is just making the payments?

That would be a way she could claim it. I helped enough while they were in school. The loans are theirs.

It would be one thing if she was unable to find work in her career field but if she is a RN working overtime she makes more than enough to repay her own loans.

All of these make very good money depending on where you live. My brother is a sheriff and with overtime, he hit 100k back in November. His hourly rate is pretty similar to a top rate driver. As a teacher, I can top out just under 100k after 15 years with a Masters degree. Trust me, I did the UPS thing and I a much happier teaching and working 8 1/2 month out of the year.

i envy you getting out of this business. i am flirting the idea of leaving soon too. i have a parachute that will cover about a halfs months pay every year. i just need to find something else that will cover the other portion and then id be gone and be happy again. man, i dont even know what id do going to school and working part time. how in the hell would i fill in all the extra hours that id have each week that I wasnt sitting in a a package car? boy oh boy it must be nice having a life outside of work

He can do whatever he wants.

At some point he will have to let go.

Both Occupations have Challenges, that is agreed, I presume.
Spend half a day shadowing a Nurse at their job, and a Nurse spends half a day shadowing a UPS Driver.
We can then understand they don't just take blood pressure and hand out pills, and they can understand there is more to our job than just driving around, deliver a box, drive around some more and deliver another box.
We would both have a better understanding of what the other goes through.
Stereotypes are not a good indication of what a persons occupation really involves.

We make profit. That's the difference.

How much are the union shop nurses making that put in UPS style overtime?

It is not uncommon for nurses who work UPS style overtime to make close to six figures.

Traveling nurses make upward of $40/hr.

In California, they can make well over 6 figures and probably work more hours than the average UPSer.

There are exceptions to every rule.

The average police officer salary is around $50,000

The average firefighter salary is around $50,000

The average teacher salary is around $50,000 and who pays for the education?

The average nurse salary is around $70,000 and who pays for the education?

The average UPS driver salary is around $75,000. The highest average salary with no advanced education or training needed.

I believe the UPS driver earns evey penny. Delivering in sub-zero temperatures or 100 degrees with 90% humidity wearing down the body everyday.

It just shows that the career that "helps" people doesn't necessarilry dictate a better paying job.

Our career helps people.

People need their stuff.

It's sad to watch all these saviors of the world.......set out to help people and become hardened bigots in the process.
