[QUOTE="Paradox, post: 1057571, member: 44585"] A quick look at the numbers: I currently work about 30 hours a week at $11 an hour. This means I make $330 a week. 330 x 4 = $1,320 a month....... A school semester is about 4 months. $1,320 x 4 = $5,280. So I make $5,280 every school semester. UPS will pay $1,500 for school. Something I would have to pay out of pocket. So if I'm going to school and paying for it with this job I have 5,280 - 1,500 = $3,780. Because I work 30 hours a week it means 120 a month which means 480 every 4 months. [B]$3,780 / 480 = $7.875 an hour. [/B]Now to take a look at UPS. I know it's peak season and everything and I haven't worked there yet so please, this is where I need your help. I was told I would be making $110 - $150 a week working for UPS. $150 / 8.50 an hour = 17.64 hours of work a week. $150 x 4 = $600 a month. 600 x 4 = $2,400 every 4 months. [B]2,400 + 1,500 = $3,900 total with tuition paid off.[/B] 17.64 x 4 = 70.56 hours a month. 70.56 x 4 = 282.25 hours every semester or every 4 months. [B]3,900 / 282.25 = $13.81 an hour. [/B]Now let's say I work for that $110 a week. 12.9 hours of work a week. 206.4 hours of work every 4 months. $1,651.20 every 4 months. $3,151.20 with tuition. [B]$3,151.20 / 206.4 = $15.26 an hour. [/B] It will be less money, but also less work. It should come out to be more pay per hour and will free up time so I can continue my education. Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry ignored it as I was typing my new reply out when you posted. The wait time there is a little longer than I had hoped but still seems to be the better choice for me in the long run. I understand it's a different kind of physical stress, it's why I also mentioned my labor work in construction. I figured it was the most similar to what I will be doing at UPS. [B]--EDIT-- [/B]I was told that the tuition will kick in right away. Health insurance in 12 months. Vision and dental in 18. I was offered the permanent position and not the seasonal. [B]--EDIT 2-- [/B]Hm, just after posting this I realized I did not factor in gas as part of my money per hour. [/QUOTE]
