[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 592753, member: 1664"] Follow your bliss, and the money will follow. This might sound like simplistic advice, but, it is true wisdom. If money out ways following your true passion, then try driving. I was hired in 1986 and at that time the national average for a driver staying employed at UPS was 3yrs. I have no idea of what the attrition rate is today. My center runs 48 to 60 drivers and in the last 23yrs I have seen the pyramid effect of survivability with UPS. I have seen over 100 new drivers, come and go. I have seen over 50 on road sups, come and go. I have seen 12 center manager's , come and go. ( waiting and wishing for lucky 13 to kick the bucket :happy2:). Now that I have stated the negative, I must stress the positive. UPS has provided me the means to live how and where I wish. The long term drivers have a "certain something" that I can not define. My bliss and passion was to be able to live on my land in the country and UPS fit the bill. Please, follow your bliss. Life is too short for regrets. Long winded as this post is; I will leave you with one of the best quotes I know on this subject. Choose your ride carefully, laughed the mother. I only bought you one ticket. Best Regards, Steve [/QUOTE]
