Yeah. The idea that people take postal jobs because they're ill-equipped (or not educated enough) to do do higher-skilled jobs doesn't really hold water. Not in the US, anyway. People of all education levels clamor for postal jobs because the pay's more than adequate, the benefits are fantastic, and the workload light. People stay with the Post Office because they want to, not because the
have to.
