Lived in many cities that I don't care to ever again. Was it worth it? Yes, but there are no guarantees in this business. Finally, networking, and luck or chance played a big role. Just getting the call to interview is like winning the lottery and then you have to not blow it.

I worked for UPS in college for four years as a part-time supervisor on the ground side of the operation. At the time it was just a way to pay for tuition, but after a while I really enjoyed working for them. I left UPS to build flight time and kept in touch with all my old bosses and when I had enough flight experience I used them as references. UPS loves to hire from within.
