Why not? You make a lot more, have excellent benefits a nd retire early on an excellent pension. Plus stimulus dollars directed to preserve your job in an economic downturn. Why not recommend it to a friend? Hopefully the choice won’t look so good in a year or two.
My daughter is looking for a job. Has a business adm. degree and working on her master’s. I have told her to get a fed. gov. job since there isn’t much else out there. Pay is good, benefits are great. Sad it has come to this, though.
It doesn't do much for your self-respect, but if your self-respect is not tied to the externals of your job, go for it.
excessive pay and benefits, near-perfect job security, almost impossible to get fired for even the most egregious incompetence
yup, a gubmint job is the meal ticket for anyone willing to sell their soul
