Coming from USPS is being a package handler worth it with the goal of driving?

[QUOTE="Captain Qwark, post: 5075397, member: 75797"] This would be a difficult decision if I were in your shoes. It's not like you're going to stay at $20/hr for the next 12 years at USPS, right? That's not a bad wage in my opinion. Just know that if you do get hired on at UPS, as a driver, you will most likely do the worst routes in the center, e.g. the industrial, mall, downtown etc. routes in the biggest trucks. Oh, and how do you like climbing 3 flights of stairs in a mega apartment complex for a couple hours or so or dealing with over 70lb packages? Not all houses have a level walkway without stairs to their front door. In fact most don't. I'm not saying all this to be a Debbie Downer, but know what the job entails. Talk with a driver. Knowing what I know now I absolutely would've picked a different career. My sanity and health are more important than any amount of money. Good luck with your decision! [/QUOTE]
