New Career? Following My Dad at Work

Everybody out there has a job. Some are more brain involving than others. On the other hand, some jobs are loss forceful on the brain. Some would refer to these as "mindless work" jobs. Jobs on this list may include security guards, Starbucks baristas, mailmen, and UPS delivery people. Another job that one could end up on this list is a courier. Someone who lives with me has the title of being a courier. Read on in this paper and you will find out who that is.

He has a couple kids and a wife to spare. A house is somewhere in that shuffle also. His past careers have included Wawa worker, Super Fresh cashier and controller/financial manager at numerous places. All of these careers ended up not panning out or they weren't being beneficial to his family's financial situation anymore. It you probably haven't guessed by now, this person that I am talking about is my own father. 2 years ago, his career of being someone's part time accountant was coming to an end. I was looking through the classifieds as I always do.

The thought of him in the hunt for a job was in the back of my mind. As going through the jobs section, I saw an ad that stated that no experience was necessary and that part time work was available. Upon seeing this, I mentioned it to him and suggested that this position may be up his alley. After telling him about it, he called the number and inquired into it some more. A few days later, he had a new possible career to add to his list. That new possible career was being a courier.

Being a courier does have its ups and downs. After the interview with him, I was able to gather some thoughts of what it was like to be a courier. As far as the positives of the job, there are multiple ones. First there is minimal stress. You are not saving the world from evil at all. All that is involved is reading a map and dropping a client's payroll off to them on at a reasonable time.
