UPS Freight = TForce Freight
Should a high schooler working at UPS bother to go to college?

[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1293407, member: 42270"] It depends on what you want to do and what you want to study. If it's something technical/engineering related and you have a passion for it, then go to school. If it's Art History, then think about it. Also, consider a state school. I got hired a month before my 18th birthday. I took an unintentional year off from school and got my 4 year BA in just under 6 years while working. My degree is in history and while I don't regret going to college, I make more working at UPS (comparatively, $7k less/year but with much better benefits working 1/3rd - 1/2 the hours) than a first year high school teacher in my area. I wanted to go back and get my masters but it's a bad idea, economically, when I would make more as a truck driver (eventually, whenever I can bid into package or feeders) than as a community college teacher without adding onto my $30k in student loans.
