[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 254295, member: 9007"] Well, you kinda missed my point 804. I was really debating putting that high school diploma reference in there and that's what you focused on. Twenty years ago a degree certainly did not have the impact it does today and anyone can tell you if you're looking for a good job the degree will help tremendously. UPS still foots the bill for tuition reimbursement (another nice benefit) for part-timers and full-timers if you or anyone ever decides they want to make more of themselves. You have to make the time to attend classes, nights, weekends, etc.. Since you listed those other jobs I'll comment....Most all of them require anywhere from 2-5years of training and being a police officer is a noble profession but it is a heck of a lot more dangerous then that of a UPS Driver. Also the comparison would be if you had no experience going to get one of these jobs like most of us did when we came to work for UPS. You don't just jump ship and get yourself a job making what we make now unless you've had some kind of training or education... Anyway my point was that we're real fortunate to make the living we do driving trucks and I think a lot of people here including myself just take it for granted way too often... Some might even say they don't care! I noticed you didn't say a word about the thousands of good teamsters and UPSers in the Central States who will be much better off better off with their retirement fund in tact!!:wink: [/QUOTE]
