Hello Millis !

wishing all you new guys the best! After doing a ton of research, and deciding that Millis was by far my 1st choice, I was very disappointed to find out they don't hire from my area in Eastren NC (45 minutes east of I95). I was told they never have frieght going that way...was a bit surprised...Dam!

 

Welcome aboard. Many of us on here changed careers in our 40's as you see. I'm sure you'll do fine and things will work out. I for one have a Bachelors in Computer Science. I opted to not follow that path seeing how saturated the field is and the pay constantly dropping. So as you said, I did no see the security in it. Just another rat race on the grid. Best of luck to you.

 

Just to touch on what Bear said - I left Corporate America after 25 years of managing Call Centers all over the US, Near-Shore and Off-shore. I left the stress behind and have never been happier! However I use my "business and P&L" experience each day to ensure I manage things effectively. At 49 I am one of the oldest to "restart" their career so dont worry - If I can do it - anyone can!

The good part of being older is most drivers think you have been around a long time and you get a lot less crap LOL!

 

Quoted from teleman -I figure with your job being such a large part of your life you might as well do what makes you happy.

Amen to that!

 

Great news! I'm anxious as hell too! Ive read about everything on the the Millis threads and couldn't feel more comfortable with my choice. Working for someone that seems appreciative will be a change! lol See you in January!
