[QUOTE="ufoatemycat, post: 787519, member: 31987"] I started today as a driver helper. My driver loves me, even bought me lunch. I had a great time as well, we were swamped and he said we had about 2 days worth of packages, but we knocked it out by about 7pm. I started with him around noon and he said he was behind. We'll see how much hustle I put out tomorrow, I'm a bit worn out already. Ha ha. I'll be ok though. We met up with some other drivers that said the same thing to me: Do well and you'll probably get hired as loader or some kind of hub job. Here's the thing.. I have a BS in Information Technology, just graduated over the summer and moved across the country. I can't find a damn thing in IT for some reason and I'm in the heart of the Silicon Valley! In the long run, is it worth it for me to stick it out with UPS and make my way to driver? WHAT type of benefits am I looking at? And if you don't mind, what kind of PAY will I be getting as a driver? I can make good money in IT- if I can find something already! But I like being outside and working with my hands and being active. Sitting yelling at a computer cause I cant get it working is no longer appealing- but I was much too far in my degree to turn back and its a nice fall back plan. Thanks, ufoatemycat [/QUOTE]
