[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1628786, member: 12570"] To the OP This is a tough decision for you to make. Do you give up a known entity to go after an unknown one? You said that you are 23 and I am going to assume that you are single w/no kids. I was a casual for 11 months. I was lucky in that I was hired off the street during a period of growth. (1989) My first year I worked just over 1000 hours, which was just enough for a full year of pension credit. I busted my butt, had no problem running routes blind and would show up dressed and ready to go knowing that there was always someone who would take the day off. I don't know you or your personal/financial situation but if it were me I would go for it. Yes, you would have to get a second job-----the only problem is that this job would need to know that UPS is first and they would have to schedule you around your UPS schedule. Ideal jobs would be lawn care, roofing or other such seasonal work. Let us know what you decide and good luck with whatever you end up doing. Dave. [/QUOTE]
