In 1982, my oldest brother brought me home a toy from his new job that he took during that year's holiday season. That toy was a die cast of the iconic brown UPS truck. I was only 8 years old then and I placed truck up on my dresser. I wanted to drive that truck one day.
Well, the years rolled on and that seasonal job my brother had turned into a 20 year career that ended in Loss Prevention.
I grew up, went to college to become a chef, finished with a degree in English and just left the IT industry after 15 years. I'm 36, married with 4 kids, and am at a cross roads. Through the years I kept the truck as a reminder. Last month my 5 year old boy found the truck and asked me what it was. I told him it was my "first" job. He asked me why I had quit. I then asked myself why I never started?
So, is it too late for me to become a UPS driver? Or has my truck already left the hub?
Thanks for listening.
