[QUOTE="Holydriver, post: 2107850, member: 60709"] i may be laying the negativity on a little think, i wont lie. look man, UPS is a job that will work you. they will try and break you, they will give you a ton of work and watch you suffer, and then add more work the very next day. i mean there is tons of BS here. but, they do pay way. you get benefits that are good, and really the long hours do fly by. like seriously fly by. plus, the work is different and because of that its cool. you drive around all day and do whatever. no one is on your ass you just do your job. if you think its going to be all smiles and sunshine, it isnt. getting into a bricked out truck that you can barely fit your lunch cooler into isnt fun. its really how you look at it. me, personally, have dealt with it for a long time and at first i loved it. but its slowly starting to wear me out both physically and mentally. if you want a job where you dont have to think very much, get good benefits (that are better than UPS) and can retire earlier than UPS then join the air force. find the easiest job they offer, enlist and slowly build rank and retire in 20 years. hell, man, enlist in the air force band. go blow the trumpet at promotion ceremonies and never ever ever actually work. doing hard physical labor at your age is nothing. but when youre 30, 40 or 50 it gets tough. there are tons of guys that dont walk right anymore, they waddle everywhere. knee surgery, hip surgery. all that stuff. you asked if its a good career option, maybe you shoujld look further than just the actual work. look at how the contracts have changed over the years. look at how technology is changing the delivery world. ask yourself what a UPS driver will be doing in 15 years. youre a kid, you dont think with all your brain yet.
