[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 248278, member: 9789"] Bailey, I am recently retired. The main difference between you and me is that I started with UPS when I was 19. I was a "belt boy". I drove for 6 years and went into management. I had 3 years on my degree and the company paid for me to finish my BSBAM while I was a manager! I could have gone on for a Masters but didn't see a reason. (I should have done it!) In 1973, When I was a junior in college, I watched folks get their degrees and get entry level jobs making $650 a month. I was making almost that much part-time at UPS! I decided to make a career with UPS. I highly recommend getting your degree while continuing to work part-time. There are hubs that have tuition reimbursement and school loan programs that are really beneficial. Get with HR and find out what programs are available in your district. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY!! I am traveling the world with my wife of 35 years and can do and afford anything I want...all because of UPS. Your potential is only limited by you! Also - start investing while you are young - make it hurt - You will be glad you did when you reach your 50's. [/QUOTE]
