[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1089804, member: 43436"] - ANY job involving manual labor is going to involve aches & pains. Unfortunately, in 2013, the pay for nearly all these jobs sucks. - To many PTers, the hours are a selling point. If you were to offer most adults a choice between an early-morning/late-evening (the hours most PTers work) start M-friend with major holidays off, or a "flexible" schedule (at a mall, fast food establishment, etc.) that involved nights, weekends & holidays, most would choose the former. - Unfortunately, in 2013, harassment and intimidation occurs in pretty much any job. You've never seen kids getting screamed at a grocery store or McDonald's? The only difference is that fewer UPS employees lose their jobs. - Few drivers will agree that PTers work as hard as they. I've driven, and I've performed most inside jobs. I believe that each job has its pros & cons; most PT jobs have virtually no responsibility and are popular among those who... well, would never make it as drivers. Interestingly, we've had two veteran PTers (15 or more years) go into driving (on each in 2011 & 2012) because their bodies could no longer handle the PT work... [/QUOTE]
