[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 871958, member: 7966"] Depends on what you call a career. A career to me means a series of jobs with different companies in a given discipline. You mentioned UPS as a place to start a career. If that means getting an entry level position and and learning the basics in an area of expertise - Industrial Engineering, Marketing, Sales, etc., then UPS is indeed a good place to start a career. Work here for 2 or 3 years in a very disciplined environment and very thoroughly documented approaches, etc. These learning experiences will serve an individual well in their career as a starting point. Operations at UPS is a more difficult consideration and I don't know that what you learn in operations serves one very well at other companies. UPS is still a good solid company to work for in this economic climate ... that is important. UPS has some tough obstacles to overcome in the next 40 years ... primarily a workforce that is over-compensated compared to the industry average. This is important for a person looking for a career at UPS since the number One reason people thought of UPS as a great place to have a career long-term job is the compensation. [/QUOTE]
