[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 306692, member: 12570"] Use this experience to enhance your work ethic but, above all, stay in school and then use your degree. My preloader just graduated from college but is looking to stay w/UPS rather than pursue a career in his degree field, as his degree is in an obscure field and he would have to relocate to NYC. I will agree that our compensation package is most certainly above average; in fact, I am with UPS because I earn more here than I would have had I pursued a career in my degree field. That being said, the lack of mental challenge, repetitive nature of the job and micromanaging do little to enhance me on a personal basis. However, I was able to put 2 kids through college and will have a comfortable retirement thanks to UPS/Teamsters so you have to decide what is important to you. If nothing else, you will certainly get in to better shape and get paid (not much at first) to do so. [/QUOTE]
