My understanding is that if you're not a veteran or minority, it's incredibly difficult to get into. For instance, you mentioned the point bonus for veteran status. I go in and score 99, but the veteran, or minority scores 91 and has 101 with their bonus amd gets the job.

90+% of people are at work when the mailman comes.
Yes. There are supervisors. Like the OP says, they have to scan certain mailboxes, so that their supervisors know where they are. If you don't produce at the same rate, they question you.

We have some great mail carriers in independence. I was actually at the post office today and they went out of their way to be nice!

Great job!!

If thats all a mail carrier makes, thats really not a whole lot of money. But yea, thats about the right salary IMO for the skill required.

Why are we baggin on the postal workers? Its a good honest living sounds like...

I'm standing up for a profession that has paid to put food on my family's table when I was growing up. Personally, I wouldn't want to be a carrier. I'd want an office job. I'm enough of a people person that I can get along with others and see their points of view, but I don't enjoy providing customer service all day long. I'm simply arguing your points to be arguing. It has nothing to do with intelligence. However, if you are calling any member of my family uneducated or dumb, then I'm going to speak up.

Not bagging on them, just not going to listen to a bunch of garbage about how hard the job is. Comparatively, they're overpaid, but you probably have to overpay people to keep them from stealing.

I don't know if any member of your family is uneducated or dumb, but if they work for the post office, they're doing a job that can be done by someone who is uneducated and dumb.

See, this is why I say you're not very bright. You don't understand what words mean.

Sounds pretty average to me.

Like teachers, they get amazing vacation time and benefits.


That offsets the average pay.
