A degree may or may not help you make a living.
You can make a fine living at UPS, if you're willing to work and stick it out through the early difficult times.


Drivers in my center make between 70-110k per year, with about 11-17k per year in medical benefits, 8-10 weeks/year of paid leave, and other retirement/fringe benefits.
We are paid by the hour.

My work center has 8 employees.
4 of us have 4-year degrees.
(Majors: industrial arts, liberal arts, political science, mathematics).
The other 4 had 1-3 years of college.
(Majors: engineering, chemical engineering, hotel/restaraunt mgmt, unknown).

We had a high-school dropout who worked for us for awhile.
22 years old and set for life if he was willing to stick it out for one year.
He quit.

A degree is unnecessary to work for us, but it is indicative of other traits.
