[QUOTE="MC0493, post: 2551494, member: 61014"] UPS was never even a thought in high school. I was big into computers and took vocational classes for computer repair during 11th and 12th grade. Liked what i was doing and did very well. Scraped together a plan for college and went to Devry university(there's a choice i regret) Eventually got my bachelors degree in computer information systems with a concentration in internet security. All the while since 12th grade i worked in a grocery store doing various positions. Cashier, overnight stock crew and then frozen department. Tried to get somewhere while i was there, entered their management training program which just got me more work and more stress for no additional pay and it was seemingly dead end. Hated working there, was treated like crap, used and abused. Finally i had enough and just quit the place (went to quit once and they convinced me to stay with a raise) Shortly after i finished college. The idea was to take a final free summer before getting into a career. Summer slowly ended, looking for work was depressing. Everything needed experience i didn't have or was stuff i didn't learn. Bombed a couple interviews due to lack of knowledge. Started questioning my path, really began to realize i'd go insane sitting in an office all day and started pursuing other paths. Really tried to get in with the railroad but didn't have much luck. It was now November and i happened to look up UPS and see they were hiring seasonal drivers and i thought ehhh what the hell. Was auto scheduled for an interview and almost didn't go. Passed the interview, begged pleaded and borrowed manual cars to get practice before my road test. Went to class, did the best i could for peak, was let go and then called back a few months later to be permanent. While i never in a million years imagined being here, i've come to realize that some things happen for a reason, i've lost alot of weight and in the best shape of my life. I'll be set financially for life and have excellent benefits. Sure some days aren't great, but every job has them, plus i love driving. Yes that was long, i'll give you a dollar if you read it all, come find me [/QUOTE]
