I had a pretty good shot at UPS and chose not to pursue it....and I have never looked back in regret. I know a ton UPS dudes and some struggle to get through a tour....and most look older than they are. I also spent a lot of time JS'ing with them...there is no way in hell I could do that. Rolling in at 2 am and seeing guys just coming to work....no thanks. Money cannot make up for that lifestyle...but that is just my opinion.
Probably because like any job, if you get proper rest it's not a factor. You're also not getting blasted by doing the multiple turns that the guys at Southwest do. When I interviewed at Southwest, all the friends I had working there looked about 10-15 years older than they should've...simply ragged/worn out appearance. No thanks to that kind of lifesyle.
