No reason to be a hateful smartass.
My degree, my GPA, the hours I put into training, my skills at various technical endeavors, etc would fetch more on the open market rather than locked into a GS schedule. But, I’m cool with that.
I was offered a federal job right out of college, took it until something better would come along, and the years whizzed by. I’ll never be rich, but my kids have nice clothes and I can put a roof over their heads.
We all make decisions based upon what is best for us and our families. If my decision irks you, well that’s just too bad.
Ah! There's the attitude I expected! It's like a scratch-off lottery ticket that always pays.
My suggestion is damn it man, make your words true! Quit the FedGov and really see what the open market will gain you. Be a free citizen, not a sinecure. If truth is worth anything to you, we'll all be better off.

I have certain skills that I think are needed around the beltway, but I have everything I personally need and want here in PA (except for Republican governor and US Senators). The same thing happened to me that happened to you...but I do like my job. I travel too much though, but that’s okay. I’m not in Iraq or Afghanistan.
