[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1033391, member: 9789"] KevinCP, There are some who will try to delude you. They are what I call "HATERS". They will do what they can to create a negative atmosphere for the 95% of us. This is how they steal your energy. No matter what you do in life, you will deal with people like this. Be that as it may, these HATERS are a very small % of the people you will deal with. You will run into people like this no matter what you do in life. You neutralize their negative influence by not allowing yourself to be influenced by their negative behavior. In other words, don't get into the gutter with them! Your degree is in a field that will keep you more distant from operations. You can achieve a more "formal" or office like setting and routine at the district, region or corporate level. However, as you move into the region and corporate realm, you have a lot less contact with front line operations and what is a more normal work day. All that being said, I wouldn't trade my operations experience for anything. Long hours - working weekends - working nights - It is all part of what makes us who we are. Go into management with the right intentions and you will be successful in your goal. My intentions had nothing to do with earning money (I made more as a driver initially). It had nothing to do with getting an easier job. As a driver, I was not being challenged anymore and needed that. Every place I went, I just wanted to make it better than when I got there for the employees and for the company. [/QUOTE]
