1. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE SAYING GOING POSTAL
2. follow ur dream if thats what u want then go do it great benefits security and if u alreasy have school and later on you want to do something else or move into supervisory position in post office u can
3. If it is what you want to do -- go for it. Someone has to do it & I would rather it was someone who enjoyed it. There are bebefits to having a government job. You should realize that you won't use your mind much. Figure out how important that is to you.
4. Go to college and get a degree, then become a mailman if that's what you really want. This way, nobody can tell you that you haven't reached your full potential. With a degree, you'll also be more apt to get promotions.
5. I have never met an unhappy mailperson. The biggest problem is untrained dogs, so carry your mace and away you go. Do what you want to do! If there is enough money to pay the bills and for a few treats, you will be just fine.
6. do whatever you want to do there are better jobs out there, but don't just look at being a mailman look at other jobs that may interest you more. if your into science look into jobs that involve it, or if you like math and art you might look into being an architect. just trying to make you think about other things, and im not saying that being a mailman is a bad job
7. Sometimes, on the news, there are reports of vicious dogs biting mailman but the case is rare. You decide...
8. If it makes you happy, go ahead its your life, you make the choices. BTW, their is nothing wrong with being a mailman. Its a job that everyone underestimates b/c without them our mail would neevr get to where it needs to be, including college applications. Its one of the most underrated jobs and I commend u on your decsion. However, u can go to college or work part-time as a mailman too. Congrats, and good luck!
