The post office is in hard times right now but they will hire again and keep on delivering the mail. Besides, what is a good job in aviation anymore? SWA? UAL?
Hows about 120K to fly a 737 in the middle east? Then what? A big part of my point is that it is not all that easy to determine what a good job as a plot is anymore. 60K at a regional is not that great when you consider the cost that it takes to get there and the lack of benefits. To me a life overseas is not much of a life.
The mailman has more control over his life, enjoys career stability and has a real retirement to look forward to.
A mailman is not the only example we can use. The military is hiring.
