“Oh, puleeeeese! I don’t think I can take “If I worked for a private company, I’d make so much more” kind of stuff anymore. As I always say to these “public servants”...Do it...do it...do it! None ever have.”
You sound like someone who is just jeolous you couldn’t get a federal job.
I’ve had a federal job (USMC), post office and a couple state gigs before I saw the light in my mid 20’s. No...I am definitely not “jealous”.
