[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 317716, member: 2125"] Rocky....I wish you the very best of luck in the pursuite of your goals. I feel confident you will reach that distant shore that you set your sails for. It was refreshing to read that there are still people who refuse to allow the temptation of a high paying job (UPS Driver) deter them from the goals they set. Too often the Part Timer sees Drivers making $70,000 to $90,000 a year and thinks that's the job for me, and gives up on their goals. Then after they been a Driver for several years realize they made a mistake in giving up on their dream and feel trapped because they based their standard of living on a drivers wages and can not afford to leave. Many times these are the same drivers who find fault with everything UPS does because they are dis-satisfied with their life and rather taking responsibility for the mistake they made, they blame UPS. Being a Driver for UPS is a very honorable and respectable way to earn a living. However, not everyone can, or wants to, do that for a living. The original intent of Part Time employees for UPS was to have a workforce for a 3 to 5 hour shift, particularly for a Preload operation, to give the driver a full 8 hours on the road to deliver, rather than loading the car. Also originaly UPS only hired college students for the Part Time positions. This gave the student the opportunity to earn a wage while continuing his/her education. in the field they had chosen to be their lifes work. [/QUOTE]
