Getting into warehouse work?

[FLYINHAWAIIAN]

Really? Some guy said that warehouses start at 17 but minimum is what I have seen in Nyc.

Im in Texas.
Min. Wage is $7.25

I worked in one of UPS warehouses loading trucks. They day I had enough I went into work like nothing was wrong, got in the truck, and let the packages fill up the whole truck falling off the conveyor belt. Once it backed up to the dude up top I hopped out the truck and went home

This, nikkas sleep on state,county,city jobs. Been applying to universities and government jobs like crazy. Them cushy benefits

Go back to school to accrue more debt? Most backwards ass advice you can give someone

Yeah and those state city county jobs full of incompetent and lazy people too , make you wonder how the fukk they're in charge smh. Those shyts got the worst politics as far as promotions but the stability can't be beat


If breh has a plan to go to school that's worth it, then I can't knock it . But yeah time and money is the trade off

ATL stand up! 10 years ago I was in the same exact position as op. I quit a call center job to go work at a warehouse. The call center paid $13/hr w benefits, PTO and weekly commission. The warehouse was thru a temp agency offered no benefits, paid 12/hr with lots of opportunity for overtime. I was so tired of call center work that I accepted the position with no hesitation. Of course I regretted it within the first week.

I was young at the time so I could afford to make such a mistake. I bounced back though within 4 months I got a better job that paid 16/hr. That job led me to my current career path.

So even though warehouse work is crappy and I wouldn't recommend it, sometimes you need to break out of your comfort zone in order to grow

None, paid it off already, the reason I'm in this position is because I did my research , I didn't listen to the narrative that college will drown you in debt. Poor decision making will put you in debt. I'm not in stem or finance or medical, I essentially manage commercial contracts and do program management stuff for a fortune 500. Easy gig.

What are your two degrees?

Yeah I wouldn't recommend warehouse work at all unless you got a felony or something, especially if you're over 25.

I'd run to the post office and get a job before I did that. Not worth ruining your health.

I work a combo of a retail/warehouse job, I actually have grown to like it for the most part

BA Economics and MBA

What if you get some random degree and get an MBA?

Could you still get a high paying job by just getting an MBA?

Exactly. Why would someone work a job with no growth whatsoever except the wonderlands where some guys get 17 to start and they promote all the time. You know every other month some agent post these types of threads. Threads saying it’s better to work outside doing menial labor . Threads promoting doing something stupid like working call centers with a college degree. I see through them.
