[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1170241, member: 31414"] Pretty simple answer to that Jackburton......... Because UPS will not be the same in 5-10 years.... A driver's job is not nearly as secure or safe as it once was years ago. ANYTHING one can do to diversify him or herself is a benefit in today's society of uncertainty. As a part-time UPS employee.....I also make well into the infamous but overrated "6 figure" range (certainly not bragging) because I happen to have my own business as a result of my college education... All my "6 figures" are made within a 5 month period (excluding my UPS wages)....all while working part-time at UPS..... I also have health insurance for myself and family....a pension...not to mention 7 weeks vacation. ALL of this was made possible by the fact that we OLD part-time UPSers kept pace with the drivers rate of pay...enabling some of us to branch out into our own ventures... The OP simply wants to have a secure life like all of us... My guess is that if he ever would go driving....he would most likely never complete a 4 year college degree program. I truly feel for the younger generation of today. Many challenges ahead for all these young people entering an increasingly competitive global work force, Wall Street greed, etc.. [/QUOTE]
