Warehouse work is a lot moving around constantly and picking/packing boxes. If you lose your breath easily and are not very energetic you should look for a desk job. There are many opportunities from joining a warehouse company as they promote within the company. When starting a warehouse job you should be very energetic when you start.

My story-
I spent 8 months in a Food Warehouse in the freezer department. I was hired as a selector part-time. After 3 months of hard work i was promoted to full-time. Many warehouse offer an incentive program to certain workers. Basically the faster you work the more money you can make. It is hard work. Don't expect it to be easy work. Expect to work mandatory over-time at your new warehouse job.
Items you should have for the job:
Gloves
Steel-toe Boots
Tough clothing
I pod
Dust Mask

Good Paying Warehouse Job

One of the best warehouse jobs in my opinion is a Selector. The Selector usually gets paid the most and has a great incentive programs. This job also gets you in great shape due to moving constantly. The incentive programs differ from company but you can expect an extra $50-400 in your check if you work fast pace. The best way to go about a selector job is to find one for part-time. Full-time is to many hours to be running 40 hours a week. When working part-time will give you less hours but more incentive due to more energy from working less hours. If you work hard and fast you WILL get paid like a full-time worker.
