[QUOTE="BadIdeaGuy, post: 4685473, member: 73381"] So to break this down, it sounds like you are looking to end up in feeders? Yeah. I'd be a bit concerned. They're going to be the first to get automated, if they can get the kinks ironed out. But in a few years? Lol. No. Package car, though? Nope. They can't replace human interaction in the actual delivery process. As much as they'd like to pretend they can. (If you haven't researched this, it's called "the last mile problem". Real interesting stuff.) Keep in mind you won't be able to drive anything till 21. And that most places require a year of package before you can bid on semi stuff. (At least here.) If you are willing to hustle and put in your time in the building first, UPS will make you very financially comfortable. You're smarter than me for thinking about this now, instead of waiting. Your teacher can be replaced by an ambitious kid with a laptop and Khan academy. UPS drivers can't. [/QUOTE]
