[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 4313758, member: 50693"] [USER=26800]@Integrity[/USER], I take exception to what you say regarding working at UPS being a failure by my own hands, or some other circumstances. I will agree that when the time came for me to make a career decision, I absolutely never said I want to deliver packages for UPS. [USER=6428]@Raw[/USER] and [USER=10933]@Covemastah[/USER] said it so eloquently and were spot on. After college, my plan was to work for the US Marshall Service and after working there for a few years, go on to law school to become an attorney. While in the process of testing and interviewing for the Marshalls, I got hired for a large metropolitan police department where I was assigned to numerous divisions and specialties. During my tenure there, I completed my first year of my masters and my excitement towards being an attorney was waning. I did well in my assignments and moved up the chain of command. As time went on, I became disenfranchised with the criminal justice system and chose to stop pursuing my masters and decided not to become an attorney. I remained in law enforcement for several more years but ultimately got bored with what I was doing, and where I would end up, as I knew that sooner rather than later I would end up coming back inside, and off the street, to work in an administrative supervisory position. This was not something that I really wanted to do so I chose to leave law enforcement to pursue other things. UPS paid well and I knew that, so I applied and was hired on. While there is no stimulation intellectually, and the job presents no real challenge, I enjoy doing what I do because I am not being cooped up in an office and I have been getting to meet some good people. I make more than most of my law enforcement colleagues and one of my buddies who also went on to law school is not even making $100k a year practicing civil law. I hardly consider myself a failure.
