[QUOTE="tachyon42, post: 968385, member: 41248"] Hello all, I have been with UPS for two months. My current position is a part time package handler(load the delivery trucks). My current pay rate is $9.50, and I take home about $120-$130(net) per week. Problem is, I spend approximately $10 a day due to commute, and about $2(not sure what EZ Pass discount is) 1 way. So, when I take into account turnpike, gas, and wear and tear on vehicle, I am working for only about $50 or so a week, sacrificing my sleep most of all :( I have another job pretty much full time, but went with UPS due to future employment stability. Now I am going to be doing the Earn and Learn, which will give me about $3000 a year(covers my gas). Any advice on if I should stick with it? It seems a lot of time and effort to only bring home about $50 a week. I am disillusioned :( I may be looking into a part time supervisor position, but really am just sticking it out as an anchor for a future job. I currently make plenty(as in, a good hourly wage, pays my bills, with a little left over...barely ;) ) My current job also has a significantly less of a commute time. Whew. Sorry for the rant.
