How about the seasonal Santa gig?
Lots of feeder drivers have the right physique.
But Christmas eve and day are not optional.
At least you don't have to shave.
"A beginning Santa can earn an hourly wage of $100, while veteran Santas can earn an average wage of $175 to $200 per hour. The really big pay rate comes on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; that's when these Kris Kringles can earn wages of $175 to $200 for their first hour of work, and $100 to $300 for every hour after that."

I've done the part time preload gig then went to work after to a full time job. I worked hard days on the farm for a lot less money before and during my time at UPS. I believe as a dad and a husband I need to provide for my family. I also believe money isn't the end all be all, my time is valuable and my family desires & deserves a portion of it. In my world my family comes first, not UPS.

Anyone who thinks UPS isn't greedy is sadly mistaken.....

That's why there is no "one size fits all" answer to the balance. Depending on your situation, working more is the way to put your family first.

I'll tell you what keep naming all the jobs that don't get the holidays off. When you are done I'll double your number with the jobs that do.

Any of you allowing management to push you around and tell you you HAVE to work tomorrow and Christmas Eve are cowards. Grow a pair.

Here's the difference.
UPS has always been greedy. But, at one point there was a balance between greed and the employee. And this was good for both sides.
We are now a one sided company. Greed at the expense of the employee.
