I’m not sure if this is true or not. But I’ve heard jobs like postal workers, or jobs at zoos and Aquariums and museums go to people who are somewhat connected to the state or government. Like the state senates family and kids. My mom calls those jobs “government jobs” because you often need a connection. I don’t know how true that is but I’ve always thought it would be fun to be a postal carrier for the reasons you have described. But I don’t even drive.
