Hey everyone,
A friend of mine told me about this place and it seemed like a good place to get some input on what im thinking.
So, here's the deal. I worked for UPS for about 2 years but left about a year ago. I was sick of being bumped from positions simply because i lacked the seniority even though i worked my as$ off and deserved the position over the trash that took it from me. Also I thought that the longer I stay the harder it would be for me to leave, because I didnt see it as a career I wanted, so I jumped ship. Now i've been talking to my buddy, who is a driver of 15 years seniority, and been thinking about it a lot as well and it seems like it would be a better idea for me to go back and start a career.
Now I like doing many things; from writing, photography, music, automotive work, construction, cooking, restorations, psychology... you get the idea. It seems, however, that every time I think of or try to pursue one of these as a career, it turns out to be more of something I'd rather do as a hobby. Lately i've been thinking that a career at UPS would be perfect because it would allow me to have a career that's not too involved, make good money, and give me time to do everything i like to do.
So, long question short, does this seem like the logical way to go? Do most of you like your jobs, or at least can put up with it because of the benefits of the job? Any input would be great and much appreciated. Im turning 23 soon and feel like if i dont start something soon... I'll be too late.
Thanks...
