[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 171916, member: 6408"] My opinion? Go to school! Sure UPS whatever's make good money but will it continue? Maybe! Maybe not! I'm like you. Had no desire to go to school. Worked menial jobs (AND WAS HAPPY DOING SO, I might add, but not making any $!). Was working heavy equipment in the mid-70's making pretty good but had to work the snot out in good weather so we could ride out the bad, no-working weather. Construction went down, we didn't work when we shoulda. Something called UPS was fairly new here so I jumped and got hired. VERY hard at first. I was 31 and trying to run my hinney off just to qualify. Never did like package car. Made it to feeders ("semi's), which is what I got hired for in the first place. Been in that dept for the last 26 yrs. Also been very hard. How? Roads, hours, sometimes equipment failures, family, sleep, I could go on. I ain't complaining but it ain't for everybody. It just fit for me. This company is not exploding (in business) like it was. Opportunities, at least in my opinion, will not be here like they once were. You get stuck in part time, you may be there alot of yrs. You get stuck in package car, you may be there alot of yrs. You get stuck in management, you may not like what you see or have to put up with. What I did in my life worked, as I said, for me. I have not regretted anything I have done, but....could I have done better? Maybe! Maybe not! It WILL not work for everybody. My advice? Try to get on w/UPS but STILL go to school. You CAN do both, whether you are full time or part time. THEN, with education in hand, you can just about write your own ticket! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
