[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5384429, member: 93115"] That's because the person just starting knows a career as a package delivery driver is doomed because of vehicle automation during their future 30 years of working. They see weak unions whose membership and power has been decimated. They know by the time they get to the point of being stuck in a job (mortgage + paying for kids college): the job will no longer exist or not be paid what it is today. Hell, even Amazon's delivery (can't even say upstart anymore) will be a more equal competitor forcing down wages as UPS competes with yet another non-unionized workforce. How many Amazon drivers did you see 10 years ago? How many today? How many in 20 years? They've also seen their parents change jobs multiple times with the company showing no loyalty to them. They've seen their pensions turned over to the PBGC That is why the young generation have 2nd and 3rd jobs or side hustles and want cash. Being able to stay on their parents insurance until age 26 certainly helps too. [/QUOTE]
