alt Hacker NewsI became a USPS mail carrier instead.
Certainly less pay but I love being outside and walking.
And no Jira, changing the color of that button, or steeping myself in Frank’s eldritch horror code.

As someone who is currently delivering Amazon packages with their own vehicle (Amazon Flex), what’s the process like to become a mail carrier? The miles are starting to take a toll on my car, so delivering for USPS is tempting for me…
My wife and I have a running joke about her giving up accounting and working for USPS instead. Some days I think she’s serious.

Not officially, but once you remove the skills required for the tasks, it's not all that different.
I would definitely try this if the vehicles in Phoenix ran cleaner. The old ones have such bad smelling exhaust and you are always breathing it because of the semi-open cab.
Yeah but isn't the pay shit? like making 1/3th is not a win in my books.

If I was trying to attract intelligent applicants looking for work outside of software engineering, that would be in the headline.
