[QUOTE="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, post: 135530"] That’s fine. You shouldn’t expect a lot as a 40-something year old with a new business degree looking for entry level work with no relevant business management experience. Most companies require a degree and give preference to those that have performed various internships – which you aren’t going to be able to do as a full-time driver. Now, had you received your degree and spent the last 18 years in some managerial position at UPS it’d be different. Plenty of business development or training/dev types or compliance people can use UPS to build their resume and get a gold-plated offer at another company outside the industry. Just letting you know it’s a steep order to go out at 40 and think you’ll get paid comparatively to what you’re getting now. If you are offered a position you’ll be starting out at the bottom with the 22 year old kid that just got his business degree too – and he’ll likely have completed some amount of interning and will have expertise related to his degree you won’t have. Now you know. That said, I’m all for every 18+ year driver going out and doing something else. [/QUOTE]
