[QUOTE="SCV good to go sir., post: 1699569, member: 56200"] Heaven forbid the concept of delayed gratification be applicable to the real world. Why should any young person start at the bottom and rise through the ranks? It's not like the experience of doing so will have any value whatsoever. I guess there's nothing to be learned from that (ahem patience ahem willpower ahem impulse control ahem self-regulation ahem) when someone is so smart that they already know everything. Yes, I'm sure that person fresh out of high school with 0 skills went on to bigger and better things immediately when they quit UPS after 3 days of 3 hour shifts. You and I both know very well that the lack of perks of the job you're describing is only temporary and it gets better with time. Please tell me of another part time job that offers full medical, dental, vision, 401k, paid vacation, sick days, and a pension. Until that young person has put in enough time to develop the skills needed to reach bigger and better things, the part time gig at UPS isn't that bad. And those bigger and better things are still going to require a strong work ethic and come with their own type of bull:censored:. The grass isn't greener. [/QUOTE]
