Great advice on Saturday driving. Good experience and learning the DIAD and driving the package cars. Only bad part is if you go FT and finding out you have to deliver more than 5 or 10 stops an hour.

I just rolled over 10 years yesterday.
When I started I didn't join the Union until I was a driver, too.
RTW = WINNING!
Sorry, but when you're making less than $200 a week, screw the union dues.
Here for a while, our building did a work-to-school thing a while back, they used a lot of high school kids for jumpers about 5-6 years ago. They also had some working pre-load.
They could be 17, they just couldn't do certain things or work certain equipment.
If you don't ever want to live anywhere other than where you're at, then go ahead and stick it out to be a full time driver.
Otherwise, if you want to be able to go somewhere else, and transfer, stay part time or go management.

Go driving. If you don't like it then you can go into management. Part time sup is a waste of your time.

I believe if he goes driving then tries to go in management he would have to have a bachelor degree.

No you need that to be a center manager these days. On road just requires a pulse and you have to agree to do it.

Yes and since he is 19 he has time to pick up some classes. Keep your options open.

19 now. if OP was drive package at 21, he just has work 25 years for his full pension. He could leave in mid 40's, and enjoy life, or move to feeders ranks.
