[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 221877, member: 9789"] This has come up before and I have to refute it one more time. Package or Feeder Driver = CAREER - Don't tell any driver that they don't have a career. Just because you don't have a degree doesn't mean you don't have a career. I don't think there is any easy job (or career) in UPS. I was a hub person, preload, driver and then spent the rest of my career in mgmt in every dept except automotive. I can only speak for myself, but even through all the headaches and frustrations of management and time away from my family, I felt that I could make a difference. The job was challenging every single day. I think this was the key!! There was always something to work on and believe it or not, there is time for your own personal projects to make things better. I have had the ability to work in many different environments and had district level jobs that allowed me to travel to all parts of the district. There are some centers and or buildings that are run well and some that are not run well. My thing was to make it better no matter what condition I got the operation in. It can be done....and I am talking about today's conditions not 20 years ago! As for my family...we have survived! My kids turned out well and I am still happily married. My wife and I are coming up on 35 years. As for wealth and retirement - I will never regret my decision EVER to go into management. YOU make your job what it is...no one else does. Some nay-sayers will tell you that things are different now. The days of the big bonuses are gone. Well, the nay-sayers said that back in 1978 also. There was a supervisor who retired and owned oil wells and everyone said that there will not be any more like him again....NOT! The management incentive still allows career management who know how to invest (key point) the ability to build wealth that most people will not see. [/QUOTE]
