Government money sucks
My wife has 2 x BA's + a Masters + Assoc Dip in Law + half way thru another Masters. She's employed as an Environmental Inspector & is lucky to top $50k with the Gov.
In private Env company she'd easy get over $130k, but she prefers to work for the Gov. She feels that at least working for the Gov she can enforce change & make a difference. In private company all you do is twist the laws to suit the client paying the bill.
