[QUOTE="BrownKnows, post: 173775, member: 9189"] Very good question Canon. Truth is, I just wanted to learn more about the opportunity. I'm not dead set on taking it if it's offered, but it all depends on the circumstances...pay, benefits, how it meshs with/interferes with my personal life and classes. You're right about the ease of getting to classes now and not having those "sorry about your class" situations. The thing I've considered is this: I would be about 6 miles from work at my local UPS hub instead of 18; the benefits might be at least very comparable to what I have now; and if the pay was close to what I make now, it might really be worth it. The biggest downside will be if those in charge at my location aren't too concerned with classes. Another thing to consider is this: We have an employee Tuition Assistance Program at my school which allows me to waive (yes, completely do away with) tuition on any class I take as long as I sign up for the class during a certain registration period. Sounds great, right? So here's the catch...my registration period is AFTER everyone else...including the freshmen. Imagine if you're a junior-level student and there are only certain classes that you still need, but because you get last pick of classes under the employee TAP program, you can never get those classes. Then you end up doing what I do and paying out of pocket...and with 2 classes topping more than $1500.00 a semester (NOT counting books), it's pretty tough. Hope that helps, and again...thank you! :thumbup1: I would still love to know if anyone is aware about the pay situation with PT sups. Are they salaried? What is the salary based on? Is it negotiable? [/QUOTE]
