[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 343990, member: 4653"] I think about applying for management all the time. Being a driver my job consists of some mindless work (like walking down a 1/16 of a mile driveway that you can't drive in), which gives me a ton of time to think. This is one aspect of the driving job I really like. There is plenty of time to enjoy your thoughts :happy2:. Seriously though, I'd like a challenge. My route is not a challenge. Going out bling on a route was a challenge and I hated it at the time, but at the end of the day it was satisfying. The problem with attempting management is the potential to lose what I have now. I'm not getting rich and I'm not using my brain, but I'm OK with the 'status quo'. All I need to do is drive the truck for 20 (roughly) years and I will retire comfortably!!! We are lucky as teamsters (for now) at UPS. The plan I have is my mind is continue the 401k deduction I have been doing and participate in the UPS discounted stock offer program. Then, hopefully I can collect a pension and social security. What if I screwed up in management? I would lose that financial security. I like the driving job at times and I know if I continue I will be happy at age 57. I'm almost 35 now and its probably too late to change my course. I wish everyone luck who takes the management path. [/QUOTE]
