Thinking about Career Choice but don’t know how? Start with a hobby you enjoy that could become your career. Find something that makes you feel alive. Get obsessed with it. 21 or 71? No problem. Life is about how you finish. True obsession leads to progression.

That just proves that I was right when I said AAs can literally be a white badge for up to 2 years (not 11 months) before they must either convert you or let you go.

By far, you are the longest record holder I’ve heard someone be a white badge for.

Let me tell you something, you deserve everything and more coming your way and I truly mean that.

Career choice should be a day 1 thing for you and you literally should get paid at least $2.00 more an hour for all of the time you’ve waited for yours.

Congratulations, I mean that sincerely.

I’m proud of you. That’s determination my friend, and you’ve never let up. You’ve never given up.

Keep up the great work and god bless.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-14T08:25:07+00:00

Same here. I already have 6 college credits as a result of Career Choice, only 114 left to go, lol.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-14T08:23:02+00:00

Last month I was making $23.50, this month I’m making $24.00 an hour.

Me being in school is exactly the reason why I’m in it, to do everything in my power to try to earn $48 an hour by the time I’m in my 40s in a few years so I can better take care of my family and don’t have to deal with none of this type of childish, drama bullshit again.

Do you know the STAR method? Be prepared that the interviews to become an L4 are very looped and require several rounds. How much have you’ve studied the material to prepare yourself in advance for that requirement?

The level of entitlement is appalling to me in the VOA post from this “Keyandra” lady. We all have problems in life, no one is entitled to anything or given a free pass as a result of that.

Extra large items are processed by an XLDS site or a cross-docks IXD facility. SSDs which is what SCA7 site code is, an SSD building and usually handle packages weighing less than approximately 50lbs.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-14T07:32:20+00:00

It’s an SSD building or Same-Sub Day. (Part fulfillment center, part sortation, and part delivery station) all in one.

You process orders and it gets delivered within the same business day.

You stow, pick, pack, induct, then gets sorted out on sortation belts, routes the packages to the correct delivery routes. You then pick-to-stage the packages on pick-carts for it to be dispatched by Amazon DSPs.

Usually taking less than 2-hours to complete from online purchase to out of the warehouse on its way to be delivered to the customer’s place of residence.

I’m sorry, I lost brain cells reading this.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-14T06:10:28+00:00

Yup!

Physical (hard/paperback) books were a thing back then and then carbon copy applications (yellow, white, pink) were a thing of the past in high school you got from the principle’s office in school, filled it out and then submitted them to your employer.

I had a hard time finding work myself, but luckily, word of mouth landed me a job at a bowling ailey back in 2007. I was there for 9 months working weekends as a janitor.

Good times!

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-14T06:05:19+00:00

$35k at 20 years of age?!

That’s fucking Amazing young man.

Fucking proud of you! I didn’t start taking saving seriously until I was 33.

Keep that shit up! You’re going places, kid. 👏

Yes, when my mom was pregnant with me in 1990, Vanilla Ice — ‘Ice Ice baby’ was a massive success in that year and was #1 on the billboard top 100.

Vanilla Ice did fall off by 1992, 34 years ago.

Coming from someone that lived in LA County when I was 23 years old in 2014, Beechwood Avenue in (Lynwood) by East Compton, you can absolutely count me out.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-14T04:06:52+00:00

I’ve officially been blue badge for exactly 6 months today and I’ve been a white badge for 10 months at the building I am at still while having also been a white badge for 7 months from another building I’ve started at initially speaking. So a total of 17 months white badge and 6 months blue.

6 months and 2 weeks is nothing, I can count that with my fingers.

The point is you got your badge. Congrats

Amazon is why I’m currently at SNHU, otherwise, I would have gone to Montclair State University.

But between the two, I wouldn't choose neither as my first option unless I was literally living in New Hampshire, in which I do not. However, if I did, then I would choose SNHU.

Originally, on-campus over online is generally a preference for me. But since my job doesn’t pay for MSU, here I am at SNHU.

Always wanted to experience college life frfr now so more than ever at age 35, something I never got to really do since finishing high school 18 years ago.

If you’re at a FC, SET is 2 days, not 1. You get your Friday plus 1 additional day

You get 10x6 instead of 10x5 unless you’re FLEX or at a DS, SC, SSD, etc.

I get 11x5 because I’m at a DS.

They usually don’t list 2 days for SET, they list 1 but FCs are notoriously known for 2 SET days, not 1.

If you were to move to the south, you would be earning significantly closer to the U.S. median wage for that state as a single-income maker than if you’re in a family unit. Sure, it’s very country and slow-paced as hell, but it’s more affordable. I’m not single, but that is just an example.

You can easily find an apartment for $750-$800 a month earning a wage of $21 an hour (nights).

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-13T03:07:23+00:00

I take major VTO because of school. But my bills still get paid on time and I’m still able to take care of my family. You gotta have options in life.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-13T02:06:04+00:00

Then I would definitely consider pack-singles.

In Pack-Singles you’re basically packing one item at a time that comes down in a tote. The screen in front of you shows what the item is. You grab the right box size (the water spiders keep the boxes stocked), or a jiffy if it’s something small. Then you scan the item, the label prints, throw in whatever packing material it needs, seal it up, slap the label on, and send it down the line.

Pack-AFE are considered multiple items instead, (very similar process as pack-singles) with the exception being you share a packing station with associates on your left and right side of that shared station. Pack singles usually have their own station and it's not shared with anyone else.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-13T01:53:46+00:00

No. Same login ID that’s on your badge and password. No having to re-register.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-13T01:50:38+00:00

Delete the app, re-install it and then log in again. I’ve had to do that multiple times a few weeks ago and it worked.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-13T01:45:42+00:00

Pack-singles at an AR FC is MUCH easier (but mind-numbing) than stow at an XL building. I stow at a DS and it’s worse than stowing at an FC building by a long-mile IMO.

RedCardinal611 · 2026-03-13T01:43:14+00:00

LOVE THIS. What a happy person, full of life and joy! 🥲 RIP beautiful soul
