I hesitate to say this in the company of this board, but persistence is my strong suit. Thanks again to all.
Also worked as a school teacher and as a bouncer (among many other jobs...) prior to getting my foot in the door at UPS.

Had to pick up a second job to make it work here.
Put in back-to-back 3100 hour work-years in 2003-2004 between the jobs.

Success is a choice.
You don't always get to choose the particular path or the timing, but you can choose to drive on until you find it.

You have chosen.
You will succeed.
