What you do not have in the federal government are "small business" people ~ they don't allow that. In fact you start doing that stuff on the clock they'll send you to jail.
“Outside of the USPS, most federal jobs require a college degree. The work performed is comparable to private sector work of the same type.”
O - BS
The fact is, half of every graduating class - graduates at the bottom and that is where government gets its staff.
Private industry does not interview college students at the bottom - they being at the bottom get into government and give themselves power over those that actually worked through school and achieved something.
