"On Topic" When you were in high school was UPS employment your career plan?

UPS was not on my radar in high school either. While going to college there was a sign on a bulletin board that UPS was hiring college students. The midnight hub needed bodies. I said to a friend there is no way I'm going to work at 10:00pm and miss the parties for a job that only pays $1.65 an hour.

A year later a new sign was there with pay being $4.50 an hour or so. I applied and was hired within a week.

3 years later I was driving feeders and making more money than a brother who was a CPA. The 70's were a great time at Mother Parcel.

Fast forward to 2007 I retired and haven't looked back!

I am grateful for ending up with a decent job in spite of my failures and dysfunction.

With you on that. After many peaks and valleys along way, my life has been smoothed out by having this job. I laugh everyday because of the money and benefits this job provides for me to walk cardboard. Never did well or enjoyed school, but I always liked working. I feel I have the perfect job, just have to keep the body together
