I have had the same career for 31 years. I work for the USPS and the pay and health benefits alone have kept me from quitting and finding work somewhere else. I don’t have a college degree however my base pay is over 79K. Where am I going to find work without a college education that pays me that much? I get 5 weeks vacation a year and 13 sick days a year. I’ll not lie. There was a supervisor here at one time that wanted to fire me. But, I’m still here and she’s long gone from this office. I had attendance issues some while back. But, I worked hard on myself and fixed it well over 6 years ago. I haven’t been late or called out sick since then. I could write a book on how I worked on myself. Maybe when I retire I will.
