[QUOTE="Jtking1821, post: 2241437, member: 63376"] Hello guys, sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place since is my first post :-). I currently have a job making $23 an hour and I just recently went to a UPS freight interview in wich they told me the starting pay for a class A driver is $17.70 for the first year with a progression every year until you top of after your fourth year. Now my question is if it's worth it to leave my current job to start so low on pay? I'm 23 years old with 3 kids (yes, I know :P), I also just bought a house so I'm paying mortgage myself. My job currently has really expensive health insure at $200 a week with no pension or any good retirement plans, also I would probably be getting about a $1 or $2 raise every year. I average about 50 to 55 hours for most of the year, I should make around 65k this year. If you were in my shoes, would you leave to go to UPS freight? I know the health insure is wicked cheap and they have a pretty good retirement plan but it worries me a lot to leave for so little. Anyway, any input would help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
