[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 1015000, member: 30532"] My point was you blindly said go be an attorney, please look at the unemployment rate for fresh attorneys. I have several friends emerging from law school in debt that is nauseating, unable to find a job worthy of taking a chunk out of that debt. We are being treated worse and worse, yet we are still paid more than a huge portion of what a 4 year degree would get you. Every job has its struggle, you deal with what comes your way and if the pay isn't worth it move on. They can "harass me" a [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]load more, just keep paying me! Also, UPS tuition reimbursement does not stack with financial aid, which is usually of greater value depending on what grants you can get. Step back and look at it, you are not in a position to prophetize what UPS may or may not be. Things are not bad here right now compared to a lot of companies. Show me a college degree with a more secure future as of today? What about better pay? Benefits? You would need to pick carefully. Can you do better in 20 years as your career progresses? Again, you would need to pick carefully depending on how our contracts are negotiated. I don't personally want to drive, I am here because I weighed my options and that job is a better backup than a degree without the mental effort that I apply elsewhere. Maybe I just looked at it differently, but I know for a fact a lot of the people I know would earn more with a better benefit package driving for UPS than they would using their degree. What does all of this mean? I think it's wrong to write a [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]ing paragraph disparaging someone from maintaining a job here while telling them to put themselves 250k in debt with a 6-8 year time commitment after which they can't find a job that pays more than 30k a year for the next half decade while all that interest builds. K!? Depending on where you are, you can make more, faster with less invested driving for UPS. I am not at a place where such is the case, by the way. [/QUOTE]
