Government pensions are good because government work pays less. The good pensions are the compensation for working for less. Dunno what government jobs YOU are looking at -- but around here, the Gubmint jobs pay substantially MORE than their private sector equivalents. Just one example: A secretary at the University of Iowa can easily clear $40K per year -- AND have the best health care and retirement I've ever seen, anywhere. Well around here software engineers for the state don't get squat compared to private industry. Neither do engineers working at any level of government, actually. |

compared to private industry. Neither do engineers working at any level of government, actually. That is something odd about government jobs. Entry level positions seem to pay way above standard wages, while professional level jobs seem to pay way under standard.

Because the civil service system is largely based on seniority and arbitrary job classifications rather than market value as in the private sector. Matt |
