[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1207346, member: 50088"] There's a lot of questions there but I'll try to answer a handful. Is it a good career and worth it? Yes. Most especially if you feel college isn't for you. Drivers make between $75-$100K a year (after reaching top rate in 3 years, although going forward will now be 4 years in new contract) not counting full healthcare and pension. It's really hard to make a good living anymore without at least a bachelor's degree. And even many graduates can't find jobs these days. How long does it take? On average, it's about 2-6 years working part time before your chance comes up. If you can do that, try to find a decent day job in the meantime and just stick it out. Getting out at 5:00? Um, no. For one thing, the day (I believe in most centers) begins at 9:00. So just to get your 8 hours in takes you 'til 6:00. And yes, a lunch hour is required. They won't pay you if you work it. Most days you'll get overtime - maybe an hour or so. Big money there. Hope that helps a bit. [/QUOTE]
