[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 291009, member: 12912"] Common sense says that working part-time qualifies as roughly half the pension credit as a full-time employee. Surely all pension plans vary. Here in ENE, for example; as a part-time employee starting Jan 2002 though aug 2006, my 4 1/2 years added up to about 2 1/2 years pension credit. since then I've done 1 1/2 years full-time for 1 1/2 years pension credit, so over 4 years pension credit total for 6 years going on 7. I hope I explained this correctly. A 30 year pension is possible via part-time work given you work 50-60 years. You're better off going full-time ASAP, or finding another job, if you want a valuable pension when you decide to retire. As for full-time, your best bet is to get in driving Saturdays. You will get some on-road experience which is very valuable. After a few/several years, you should be able to hook up with driving cover routes or a route. combo jobs (like the previous poster mentioned) will be difficult to come by as there are no new combo jobs required post Aug 2008. There's always a few openings for driving during the year as there's retirees, injuries, terminations, etc. Hope any of this helps [/QUOTE]
