[QUOTE="scratch, post: 93996, member: 1674"] I can remember back when I started in 1975 as a seventeen year old. A part-time job in a burger joint started out at $2.10 an hour. UPS starting pay as a P/T loader was $4.25 an hour. That was good money way back then, I don't know what a driver started at. When I started looking for a full-time job after high school, I was making more money part-time than what full-time jobs paid. When I started working full-time as a Package Driver on my warehouse route, I soon learned that I was making more money than that shipping/receiving supervisor with a college degree. I had one manager at a national company try to hire me as a salesman for him, but when we sat down to talk about money, I was making more than he was! The jobs people wanted around here back then was working for Ford, GM, Lockheed Ga., Delta Airlines,utility companies, and UPS as far as blue collar jobs went. These days we seem to have a hard time getting good people now, I think the starting pay is too low to draw better quality people. [/QUOTE]
