[QUOTE="888555999333, post: 127332"] Being a UPS driver is for people with average intelligence and limited education or training. It's hard work and long hours for a wage that'll support a family within a working class standard of living. You can/will be fired for what you would be fired for anywhere else. You won't really have that much time to check out "hot chicks" unless they walk right by you. I guess that improves things for a few short moments, but that's no reason to forego a better career. When you said, "try to go to college", I got the impression higher education is not for you. If I'm correct, then take my advice as someone who made poor career decisions: Learn a skill or trade. Whether it be plumbing, HVAC, carpentry or whatever. You will have a much more lucrative career and enjoy a lot less stress with a whole lot more freedom in your life. Everyone I meet that asks about being a package car driver has the opposite picture in their head of what it's all about. It's not a cool job that has you cruising around looking at chicks all day and not having to deal with a boss. I work 9 to 10 hours a day and come home exhausted every night. My back and knees hurt, I have pain in my wrists and hands all the time, and I have nothing to fall back on if I got seriously injured or fired. That is the reality of most others who do what I do for a living. [/QUOTE]
