[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2550747, member: 12952"] In HS all I wanted to do was get into college , I barely made it into the last one I applied for . I was doing fair . Until I started spending more time in the bar across from the library then in the library . My pa used to do legal work for the local and tried to get me a few jobs. Screwed up everyone of them until UPS . I liked it , working midnight -4 am. I still had my days free and tried to stay in college but no way could I make those early classes . So after 7 yrs I gave up college and stayed at UPS . What a place we started at $1.00/ hr less than top rate and after a few months you got top rate,( $8.65/hr , considering min wage was about $2.30/hr ) which gave me plenty of beer money and a workout , too. It was no dream career. I look back to all my college friends who went the corp route , sure they made more money and spent most of it too. They had to show off their wealth , but with every down turn of the markets I kept a steady job while many of them ended up scrambling to find work. [/QUOTE]
