[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 639553, member: 7185"] NO, its not too late! I helped a driver in Denver that earned a Bachelors in History as a part-timer. Good guy. He refused to go into management for the usual reasons and he didn't want to be a UPS'er for life. He told me he was thinking about going for a Masters in English or History before doing a Ph.D and teaching at a college or university. Unfortunately, life keeps him working at UPS. He'd be a great professor, too. Just has that personality and something else I never can put my finger on as a student. Another driver I worked with was a great driver, hard-worker, etc. Didn't have the time to teach me the DIAD--not his fault we were overdispatched everyday--but was otherwise as patient a soul as I've ever met. When I last saw him, he said he was about 5 years away from retirement and was thinking about what he would do after that. He wasn't interested in college when he was in his teens and early 20s but admitted the idea of being a teacher had crossed his mind enough to talk to his wife about it over dinner a few nights and read something she found for him at a local university on teacher certification in the state. What he'd read hadn't turned him off to the idea of being a teacher, either, which is in itself interesting. My point: GO FOR IT!!! -Rocky [/QUOTE]
