Is it possible to work your way from a carrier into an administrative position in the USPS?

Question

Say for instance, you begin working as a career letter carrier, do that for 10-15 years or so and in your spare time (nights/weekends, etc), you get a degree. Do they allow you to move from being a carrier to an administrative/office type position if you have the necessary credentials. Any information is appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

Absolutely. My father started as a clerk, got an associates degree in accounting and eventually became an assistant postmaster. Other jobs were available but he got the one he wanted, so can you.

Answer 2

My nephew started at the bottom and has worked his way to manager of his own ups.
