yeah but what you dont get is its hard with my degree to get something decent and i dint want to go more into debt and im getting to old wtf else would i do?
# 1 you are not old. # 2 I was kicked out of HS in the 11th grade and floated around doing all kind of dead end jobs until I applied at UPS at age 30. # 3 I started work with a couple of other new hires who had went to college and had degrees but they had a hard time finding jobs in their fields and started driving with me. A few made careers at UPS like myself and I retired at 55. Many times over the years I wish I had used my brains instead of my body because it is a physical mentally stressful job. But without a degree to fall back on I was stuck so to speak, but yes it can be done. But make sure you vote for good pension donations into the fund and not in your pocket, as the pay is decent enough to live well with all the O/T you will get if you ever get to be a friend/T driver

Since you're graduating with a degree, why don't you consider the military? You can commission as an officer in the Army. In 4 years you'll be making more than a Top rate RPCD. 105k/year. Base Pay + BAH + BAS. The longer you stay in service the more you'll make.

You don't have to be very smart. Although you'll need a GT of 110 to be able to commission. Meaning you have to be good at Arithmetic Reasoning and math
