Should i work at UPS during college?
NO NEED TO READ ALL! :D
I am 19 going on 20 years young and just finished my freshman year of college. This first year i sort of had the "college experience" mild partying, meeting new people, sex of course etc. And i actually enjoyed it even though i could have a lot more fun.
This summer i'm currently working at UPS to gain money to buy a car. My plan is to work and get a car then quit and find a job on campus. why would i quit? reason being is that its 5 days a week 5-10 or later every night. I'm obligated to do at least 15 credit hours per semester to stay with my scholarship. I honestly do not want to spend my whole college life doing nothing but school and work and school and work. I understand money is a necessity in this word but you're only young once. I rather find a job that has me work maybe... 2-3 days a week with decent pay.
now the benefits of the job is $10 starting pay, health benefits if i work there for a year, a $15,000 reimbursement if i work there for a whole semester and i think that's about it. These are all wonderful benefits but i hear UPS takes a huge toll over your body over a certain amount of time. I honestly do not think sacrificing my freedom and youth is worth a stressed out body from work and mind from school.
Honestly if i was the type of person who had the willpower and focused only on school and work i would do it but i would like to live a little meet people and have fun.
am i making the right choice?
Also this year I would definitely like to join clubs and organizations to branch out meet more people. My schedule so far I'd have Tuesday Thursday and Friday off to study and find flexible work and groups and organizations and continue to work out
