Hi Road Warrior!
I am a public servant and I used to be a courier driver.
I will say this to you: The public service sucks. Customers suck, politics suck, the endless reversed decisions suck.
Courier driving is awesome. It's like going on GTA missions every day, except you need to abide by laws and such. So much fun, you answer to no-one, you get to hoon about at your own leisure almost.
Why am I in the public service then when its so terrible and courier driving is so cool?
Two reasons.
Pay.
Career Opportunities.
Courier driver pay is abysmal. Almost offensive for an honest day's work. No super, no holidays, no annual leave, no flex time, no nothing. Work a 40 hour week and after expenses you might take home 40k before tax. Insulting money if you ask me.
Career opportunities? Nil. In the public service, the sky's the limit, provided you want to forgo common sense and rationality, that is.
