Honestly, do you think that you would be able to do the job? Would you want to do the job for $19/hour? I am thinking it would be pretty simple to find a decent job that was much less physical that paid roughly the same.
Maybe I am just out of touch with reality but topping out at $26/hour doesn't seem like a great gig to me.

For the amount education involved to do the job I think it's a great wage. Even better is the benefits package. You don't have to go to college or university to a postal worker.
Most workers don't get 7 paid weeks vacation per year nor do they get sick benefits. There's a cost to the employer to pay out those benefits which also must be factored into the wages they earn.
Yes it's a physicaly demanding job, but if you are in any kind of good shape I don't think it would be that hard.
