Its good to know the part-timers are getting a little something. Its still peanuts, but I guess they have to look at the "big picture". There are career opportinuties at UPS.
At age 17, you start at $8.50 then progress to 9.50 (do you move to $10.50 when you pass the sort test?). Heck, $8.50 is now minumum wage in Massachusetts! But unlike other minimum wage jobs you have a future. You start buying stock a discount and invest in the market through you tax-deffered savings plan.
At age 21 you become a driver and start at 15-16 bucks an hour with OT every week! At age 24 you hit top rate and now make 70-80 thousand per year with the potential to make more if OT is your thing.
Your college buddies graduated 2 years ago from State U and can't find a job in their field so they are bartending at Applebees. The ones that did find a job are making 40 grand in entry level positions.
You on the other hand have been working for 7 years. You have been contributing to the 401k for 7 years and still have 40 years of growth ahead of you. You also have zero student loan debt.
If you were saving 2k a year from age 17, you will be a millionare by age 50.
What do you think is the better path? I'm not talking about real smart people that go ivy league schools and then on to grad school. I'm talking about the guy who squeked into State with B's and C's and 970 on his SATs.
I think UPS would be the better path?
