[QUOTE="had_enough, post: 51953"] Pro, I went to school for crim justice to be a cop. I decided at age 32 that I could not take another 23 years (at least) of this current treatment. It took 2 years but I got back into shape and lost 50 lbs and was hired as a police officer making 43k base a year. I had to get through a 26 week academy , if you got injuried and could not continue then you were out of a job (it did happen to one girl in week 20). I would have made 70k if I stayed for all of 2004 at UPS. This 1st year as a cop, I will make close to 50k with OT and shift differential. (I now actually get paid when I have to work a 14 hour day) I work less time and get to spend more time with my wife and sons (3 and 1). When I left, iI knew I could still fall back on my mgmt experience and still go get a mgmt job making close to 100k a year in the Philadelphia area if something went wrong with the police job. I knew I could make this money because I became friends with a headhunter. He came up to me at a friends BBQ asking about UPS since he had no dealings with them. I told him at the time that I was making just under 70K with MIP and supervising approx. 80 people and was the FT who got stuck with all the Haz Mat crap. He could not believe how underpaid I was, he told me he could get me interviews for 3 jobs making at least 90k a year. I thought he was full of it until he e-mail 6 job postings, the lowest starting at 92k that Monday morning. He also stated that the Haz Mat crap that gets forced on one FT in every operation usually equates to about 25k in most other businesses. I still talk to him now and again and he still e-mails me job postings from time to time. He thinks that I am really nuts now for being a cop but I am a much happier person. I used to love going to work at UPS but it changed along the way and every mgmt person will privately tell you so. I got to work with a lot of great people. I will miss the great people I used to work with and hope some one at the top realizes how bad it has gotten for their sake.
