[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1128096, member: 5053"] [U][B][/B][/U][COLOR=#000000] I own my own business, running SAT Prep classes, and teaching math and science to high-schoolers. I make more outside of UPS than at UPS. That 13k represented my UPS income - not my total income. But here's the rub - you all are a bunch of union guys trying to excuse a pay-cut of more than 60% on part-timers over thirty years. I know good and well that I can't expect to live off a part-time job, and I don't. But if you made $8/hr in the 80's or 90's to start, you just need to exit this conversation. You started at twice my rate, and therefore have no credibility to lecture me about my complaints. I want to see if you all really believe what you are saying: if you do, just copy and paste this into your next post: "Yes, FreakinBananas, as a Full-Timer, if I work 55 hours a week, then I damn well deserve $90,000 more than you get for 23 hours a week."
