[QUOTE="tasky, post: 160457"] Don't worry about being a father to me, I lost mine six years ago--I'll take any advice you throw at me (with a grain of salt, of course). -I am enrolled in college right now, I'm studying Computer Science and am going to get my networking certificates this summer (hard to setup/run/configure/debug servers in America from across the globe). -I have no intentions of going into management, and I have heard from plenty of hourlies in my hub and on this forum that they will try to entice me into it. I'll "just say NO" :thumbup1::thumbup1: -I've never been a "social person", partly due to the fact I lost my father at a young age, partly due to the fact I was overweight growing up (thanks UPS, lost 25+ lbs in 4 months), and partly because I was in the "gifted" program throughout elementary and middle school. :blushing: -I want to drive, but I haven't decided if I will go the package car route or feeder route.

Thanks for the luck, but from what I've seen I'm gonna need more than that to make it at UPS :sad: Agreed. A pension would be nice, but I don't want to disappoint myself if things fall through. And once I invest my money in 401k, I don't bother checking it's value except for maybe once a quarter. Things will work out. I might take the advice of others on this forum and take my investments elsewhere, my mom has a good investor at Edward Jones who's been managing my dad's life insurance/401k... he's been able to break even, maybe return a profit, even though we've been pulling out of it for years to live off of...but that's a whole other story.
