[QUOTE="coolslice, post: 4240212, member: 50491"] I could go to Toyota and build cars and make just as much as I do at UPS. The only reason I didn't take that job when I was 22 is because I don't want to work inside all day. I guess a sack of hammers isn't as dumb as you think it is. In hindsight, taking a job with UPS was not the best choice for me or my family, and certainly not the best option I had available when I was younger. Believe it or not, there's thousands of other jobs out there that aren't UPS or Taco Bell. We are far from the highest paid workers in the country, but we work harder than most everyone else day in and day out. If I were walking in the door at UPS right now as a new hire, I wouldn't stay very long. Seeing what the job has become, I discourage everyone that asks me about getting a job there. If my kids wind up working for UPS, I will consider it my biggest failure as a parent. I'm sure that after years of seeing their dad too sore and tired to do anything, and never being at any school or extracurricular activities during the week, they'll know better and look elsewhere, Even if they do make less money. Money isn't everything, and anyone that drives for UPS should know that better than anyone- or so I thought. [/QUOTE]
