[QUOTE="UPS Lifer No More, post: 84245"] I left UPS back in Oct of 04. I thought I'd be there for life, part-timer for 2 years after the Air Force, 11 year driver, and management for almost 3 years. The time was right a mid-career disicion either go then or stick it out for another 15 years. I always wondere if there was life after UPS. I can honestly say there is. My philosophy on careers and jobs was when I started as a teanager was looking at those that have been in those positions for years and wondering if I wanted to be in their position when I was there age. When I was in the Air Force I thought of that question if I wanted to be like this person when I was to retire, I thought no I could do better and went to college and earned a English degree and went on to get a Master in Business Admin. Continued with UPS as a driver and got bored and looked to Mgtmnt for a challenge again the question came up was I willing to be like the person that I admired when they were to retire? As a Sup they have control over you and was on and off assignment for a year and half living out of a hotel traveling home after work on Fridays from Sacramento, CA back to Reno,NV. I had enough of that and a fulltime Commander position in the Air National Guard unit that I am assigned to. I took it. I still have fond memories of my time with UPS, but not sure if they are genuine or the feeling that you get when you try to think positive about someone you didn't necessarily like after they die. It was a memorable time and I still have my momentos from the time. If you are considering it I would say go for it as you can adjust and move on. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
