I absolutely love it, although the best description of the job that I’ve read is that it combines the jobs of truck driver and zoo keeper (not completely accurate - zoo keepers have bars and thick glass protecting them from the animals). The obvious downside is that it’s a major pay hit coming from the programming world like I did. I now make about 1/6 of what I did at my last job. My district pays pretty well (over $30 an hour) and provides health care, but most districts pay less with no benefits so it depends on where you are. I work less than five hours a day and I have enough time between my morning and afternoon routes to go for a bike ride and have lunch and a nap, and I’m able to take my elderly parents to their appointments and such. It really doesn’t feel like work and it’s a good feeling to know what I’m doing is actually of some benefit to humanity - unlike programming, where I think that 95% of what I did never got used by anybody.
