If you define your job as giving away other people's money, then, axiomatically, giving away more of it quicker becomes a good job.The fact that the money spent produces nothing of value is irrelevant, not your concern.

“Value” is in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it?

There are people who will buy a “gag gift” of $2 plastic dog poop made in China. That my friend is “value”, and you don’t need an MBA in Marketing to figure out that a lot of the global work force is scrambling to find ways to create “value” and sell it.

Back to govt jobs- The people getting benefits from the programs she administers find “value” in her service. That and the paycheck is why she goes to work everyday instead of staying home popping out welfare babies.

From poverty in the Bronx to age 34, an MPA from American University and a job she is proud of that helps other people (not you). Good for her.
