Why is it a sign that you made it when you get a driving job at UPS?

[QUOTE="BMWSauber1991, post: 1201511, member: 47373"] Although I agree with the people here that have posted on this board saying that you have not even held a job at UPS and you are not entitled to an opinion, I must say that I also agree with the statement you have made. You have revealed a common double standard for UPS union workers. UPS union workers get mad when you talk down about there jobs but they have all the right to talk down to people that go into management? Calling people that decide to go into management "sell outs", "traders", or whatever. I'll be the first to say it, money makes the world go round, and money truly can help people attain happiness in there lives. The difference is people who are content with working long grueling hours to make a good living and people that are not ready to accept their fate at UPS. Some people want more out of their lives and don't want to pick up boxes and break their back to make a buck. Some want to fulfill their dreams before they leave this earth, who knows, you might never get another chance to do want you want with your life....... I don't think it's right to say that a young person going to college to get a degree is not earning his money the right way. A poster here stated that young people will never know what it's like to reach in there pocket and feel the greenbacks they earned working hard. Who said going to college is not a hard thing to do? In fact, most people that go to college know they will be taking on substantial debt to get their degree and also know that they will have to fight for the job they want with the limited amount available to them. But, this is the risk these people take when they don't want to accept a mind numbing and back breaking job. Going to college is not a "get out of jail free card" or a guaranteed way to get the job of your dreams. Hell, I work with a man that has his masters degree in forestry, and we live in OREGON. You would think he would be able to use his degree but that doesn't seem to be the case. What I am saying is UPS is a hard career, it makes good money, and it's fine for people that don't want to go to school and even for people that do want to go to school. Some people can't stand to think that driving a truck is the pinnacle of their careers and aren't doing what they dreamed of. To say one is harder than the other is not something we can judge, everyone is different, and everyone wants different things in life. There is no prestige in driving. No degree is required. But, there is respect for the amount of commitment they have put in there jobs. Just like respecting a business owner, an accountant, a teacher, a janitor, a brick layer, a lawyer, a engineer, and so on. Every human deserves respect until they prove otherwise to you. [/QUOTE]
