Anybody work @ the post office or knows somebody that does?

[Big Buck]

I'm having to decide what I wanna do when I get out. (if I get out) I'm contemplating ALOT of different options. My uncle has worked for the post office for a long time, and makes REALLY good money. So I'm thinking I could work @ the post office, make some decent money (I got a family to support), and be able to go to college at night. I would also have the opportunity to eat all the time too and continue elevate my bodybuilding career. Thoughts, opinions?

if you own a gun dont do it.

I thought you were going to be receiving a full time paycheck from the Army while you went to school.

Anyway, my ex-father-in-law worked for the post office. He was just a simple mail carrier and he generally loved it. He did it for years. Once you're out on your route, you're your own boss. However, as a new employee, you'd have to deliver to the ghetto places. Lots of walking though.

You know what it means when a flag is at half mast at the post office? They're hiring!!

Sounds like a solid opp. to be totally honest. I had a friend who went to work for the P.O right out of High school, the guy is a genius, test off the charts all that shit. He retired this year, fucker!

Well I researched it, and it's not what I thought it was at all.

plus, I figure I can take a little cooler in my truck w/ protein shakes in it and food, and I can be juiced to the gills cuz they won't test me for roids.

Still going to do it? Give me the details of it.

As far as the post office, it's a solid job and I think you'll come in at a higher pay scale due to prior government work. It's a job I've considered a couple times.

There is that.

 

[rnch]

working for the USPS, at least in new orleans, SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

heavy work load, assholes for management, backstabbers for co-workers, stressed me out to the max!!!

buck-check your PM's.

Screw the post office....sell your body!

 

[mrbill]

buck, i have a friend that was a mail carrier. He loved it. Pay is good, but not great. You never have to worry about being laid off. Good benefits. good luck with whatever choice you make.

if you own a gun dont do it.

I thought that was a pre-requisite??

I use to be mail carrier before and it's was a good job. It's a perfect job for a bodybuilder because once your out of the office you'll pretty much on your own the whole day until the end of your route. The only thing is delivering to trashy places, sorting the mail is a pain in the ass, and be prepaired to do a lot of walking yo. Like Nike said "JUST DO IT!"

 

[Mysterio]

There will also be a lot of overtime to if needed. I know out here in LA in Cali theres plenty of hours to go around.

 

[fistfullofsteel]

fuck that become a cop. a state trooper, park ranger, or anything. at least you carry a gun and it makes the females wet even more.

 

[frorider6]

This will allow him ample time to attend college and it's day shift only.

My uncle used to be a rural carrier and it was the shit, he used his own truck and everything. Back in the say rural carriers had power. They were political appointees and to the farmers they represented the main contact with civilization and often looked to the carriers for advice. So it was assumed that in an election year the carrier would hype the party of the guy that appointed him to the dumb hick farmers.

Good job if you can get it, don't get pigeonholed as something else.

I was looking into being a mechanic for the post office. The guys who service the sorting equipment get a lot more than the guys who work on the trucks though. Another possibility of you learned how to work on shit in the army.

At your age--even with a family--your options are limitless--even if you sometimes don't think so...

Both my wifes parents work for the post office and both are fucking drunks and hate the world...

Any job in the post office is a thankless job which you will never feel like you have accomplished anything(the mail never stops)and once you get sucked in, 10 years could fly by and then you are not a young buck anymore...

a few years ago I worked in a priority mail facility that the post office sub-contracted out(new hampshire)---i was there 6 months and I felt like I lost 3 years of my life--going to work every day was a total tug-o-war between the workers and supervisers---You won't believe the people they have in charge in some of these places...I can see how people lose their mind working in places like these...

oh ya and come x-mas time for approx--2 1/2 months---you won't see the inside of a gym---just my opinion..peace

 

[Big Buck]

thanx for all the comments and advice. I will definetly take what you said in consideration Wombat.....

 

[Lumbuss]

hell yeah work for the post office!

my grandmother used to work for them, she still has friends that work there.

you can deliver the mail, and you can own a company truck. i would love to be postmaster.

Hi guys, just out of curiosity, I'm interested to compare the post office jobs' salaries to mine (I work at university as a researcher - it's humanities/social sciences so it's not that advanced). Anyway, how much a person working at the post office makes monthly/yearly depending on the job??

 

[Shrebly]

Buck - They are hiring for carrier in San Diego and surrounding areas - $13.00 to start.

Plus they have distribution clerks - 11.00 per hour.


Call 858-674-0577 or you can hit the Rancho Carmel Drive location and pick up the forms.

Both my parents do in Connecticut. They make about $100k together. So it's pretty decent money, you just won't get rich. Now I know a chick who work for the PO down here in GA and hated it. I guess it depends where you are.

Buck, my uncle works for the post office in Philly. I'm not sure exactly how much he makes, he and my aunt recently bought a house in Mullica Hill, NJ.

You could get your Bachelor's degree, and get into the FBI. Law Enforcement is another way to go too. Both give priority to former enlisted servicemen.

FBI might be tough to get into, especially because of the steroid factor. They are strict. Look at all the skinny FBI agents.

Very true. I forgot about the steroid factor. A kid in a class of mine did a career report on being in the FBI, and now that I think of it, the substance use policy is strict.

Screw working.......go to college and play football. Since that is what you said you wanted to do. You can get all kinds of grants and shit and work study money to boot. If you get a scholarship make sure you get in good with a rich alumnus......then it is gravy.
