[QUOTE="preload1, post: 1167946, member: 36089"] Bizzob, If you are seriously looking for a career and security for your family then I would say go for it. I am a retired UPSer after 32 years of service. I started as Christmas help in '77 and was called back in January of '78. I went from p/t hourly to p/t supervision to friend/t package car driver to friend/t supervision to Center Manager. The education you will receive in people skills as a supervisor and manager are priceless. If you get the chance to go into I.E. take it. I spent ten years of my 32 years in I.E. I went from not knowing how to turn on a computer to writing programs and teaching classes on computers and people skills for p/t and friend/t management. Helping to implement PAS in my District was a highlight. Most of my career was spent in operations. So I was able to see both sides of UPS. Understand you need to let people know what you want to do in your career but it can be much more exciting than having your Next Day Airs delivered by 10:30. Don't EVER forget where you came from. As a friend/t driver you must realize that you are the final link in the service process. You need to wear that face everyday of your career. Whether you are in Package, Hub, Air, I.E., B.D., Security etc. Don't EVER forget where you came from and how you arrived at where you are. Otherwise you will fail. The reward's, as Jim Casey was fond of saying, come at the end. And they will for you and your family. Good luck to you. I hope you succeed greatly. Remember that by building up others, you also build up yourself. It is not an easy journey. Keep your family, your employees and yourself (in that order) in perspective and you will realize your dreams. [/QUOTE]
