Have you been a
victim of student debt? If not, I bet that you know someone that has. It’s an
issue that has been sweeping the nation for decades and is increasing rapidly.
The amount of money it takes to attend college for four years can take decades
to pay back. Thankfully, I ran into an opportunity to avoid student debt
entirely and I think others would also take the opportunity if they were made
aware of it. I have sworn away my week nights away to United Parcel Services as
a union employee. Sounds dreadful, I know. But it is simply 3 hours of your
night when you will work in an operation to move packages all around the world.
This was the option for me among many reasons, such as deferred tuition and
benefits that broke college students, like myself, can’t afford to turn down. I
myself have learned a lot from this job and have also had much more courage and
support to receive higher education for myself. I am surrounded with many new
friends and hundreds of other students that are there for the same purpose as
me, to graduate and be successful.
United Parcel
Services (UPS) has the Metro-College Program that defers your tuition for a
higher education. Metro-college specifically was made for Louisville colleges
and universities; however, UPS has these educational programs across the
nation. The rules and regulations to the program are easy to follow and
reasonable. Basically, you have to want to be involved in higher education. You
simply have to achieve a C or above in the classes you take with no withdraws
or failing grades. You are required to take at least 6 credit hours and you
must complete a few easy modules that give you some detailed information to
fully understand the program. Not only do they pay for your tuition but they
provide you with health/dental insurance and discounts on almost anything in
your local area such as car and hotel rentals, restaurant discounts, car
insurance, and even car purchases, only to name a few. The perks of UPS are
unlimited and my argument is that it is the easiest way to avoid student debt
while making money and friends at the same time. This video will tell you about
the program and how it is helping thousands of students trying to avoid the
awful burden of student debt.
