[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 946751, member: 9789"] If you are planning on making UPS a career and want to move up the ladder, you have to have skill in managing people. Most corporations fit this mold not just UPS. As you move up, you are managing centers, divisions/departments, districts etc. So without that skill it really does not matter what your degree is in. If you can't deal with people & confrontation, hold them accountable, muster the spirit of teamwork, hold yourself accountable, and possess the quality of LEADERSHIP, you will not be successful in a corporate environment unless you are deemed an "expert" in your field. As an "expert" without the other skills you will be pigeon holed into that expert field and unable to break through to another level. I have a friend who has a Master's Degree in business but he couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag so he is still at a supervisory level in his company. He has a degree in finance and has 30 years in finance and has never moved up the ladder. Sooo, [B]play to your strengths[/B] and what you want to do in the future and plan your degree for that.
