Oh I hate the bashing of government workers...seriously! You act as if nobody had a choice. After you turn 18 you easily could have started off making 12,000 dollars a month and build up to 30,000 dollars with an end result of getting a 1100 dollar check a month. College would have gotten you a bit more money. Nobody gets rich being in government. Civilian sectors have more millionaires than government workers (exception politicians). I am not a government worker, but I just think it is ridiculous to bash them CONSTANTLY. I could understand if you did not have a choice but everyone does. Are you mad because you failed the civil service exam?.../sarc.
I have actually known a couple of good government employees, but far more freeloaders. With all the insane union benefits, and protections, one could hardly call these real jobs. Look around your office and check out how much deadwood there is!
Just googled up NAPS - National Association of Postal Supervisors - wow there’s a winner. I assume you’re one of their coordinators? In the early eighties, a toad selling stamps behind the counter was getting over $30k, no doubt a contributing factor to their massive losses - and I wouldn’t boast too much about passing their civil service exam.
