Making UPS a career?

[Lucidd]

What do you want to do?

Probably welding or something. So if UPS falls through or something, even if it doesn't, i can make good money welding. I hear industrial and underwater welders make bank.

Any idea what i should go to college for? Gonna go to college for something simple while i'm doing PT at UPS, just to have a degree. May even just go to trade school and learn a trade or something instead of college.

Plumbing, welding, etc. All in high demand.

Done for the evening. Drinking seltzer.

I didn't have any tonight. I'm a slacker.....

I wonder if i'd be able to juggle both jobs in the future. UPS and welding/plumbing

My brother joined the Plumbers/pipefitters union and makes over six figures working OT at a GM plant.

You need to decide what you want to do, before you spend all that money on college or a trade school

You won't see $40/hr. There will be a two tiered wage for drivers in 2018.

Haven't we been over this before?

Don't make the same mistake that a MAJORITY of students are making. And that's going to college for something that won't produce a job at the end.

Who knows. This is one huge thread.

I was going to respond but why bother.

The morning shift is before typical day hours and the twilight shift is after typical work day hours so it's usually workable.

Welding and plumbing produces jobs for sure. I plan to be a member of this site for years to come. I can see it now. Signed up at 16, and is now a UPS driver/welder.

The lower tier would no doubt still be very good pay.

I might not be a top rate full time driver yet, but I was verrry well compensated last year. More than one of the more frequent posters on here claimed for last year.

My brother joined the Plumbers/pipefitters union and makes over six figures working OT at a GM plant.

I was going to say pipefitter, but there can be some involved schooling/math for some of that work. At least that's what I got from some gals in Local 597 http://www.pf597.org when I was taking some labor courses. One was a former teacher with an engineering degree. Another was working on a major project in a refinery around here. She said it was the closest thing to Hell she could imagine on this Earth.
