Government Employees

Generally super easy job

I think we get looked down upon and hated mostly by the lower middle class because we do the same easy work for double their pay.

There is strong job security (work public transportation and literally impossible to get fired), great benefits, good pension plan and there is room for upward movement (for those willing to go). A lot of employees complain about nepotism and they're not wrong, but nepotism doesn't completely stop you from moving up.

A lot of it is based on seniority more than skill though.

You'll never get passed upper middle class in a government position (which you probably would not have unless you were in a top school for STEM or medical anyways).

It can be pretty boring and routine though. Days tend to be the same but atleast if your schedule says 40 hours, you can expect those 40 hours and anything over is overtime. You don't have to bust your ass as you would in private sector because your boss told you to stay

What do you do in government? I think government is a little bloated especially those lower middle class jobs. Janitors in the public sector make 60% more than private sector janitors in my area not including benefits.
Not that I'm the savior of my state, but I think I'd actually be contributing as much as I give. I had a high GPA, competent, and diligent worker. With experience to boot.

where are you from?

working for the government is what everyone wants here in Brazil. Private sector is hard as fuck in here

>nepotism
I think you mean cronyism. My father works for my state's government and says he can't give me any kind of advantage in getting a job. He says they go through "ethics training" that tells them that.

I think in developing countries it's a stable gig that could lead to bribes (kind of joking on the latter)

there are very few elite institutions where you will not work with mouthbreathing fucktards

I'm a serviceperson in Canada. Do it part-time while I'm in school. Plan on moving to a financial analyst or something around there since they hire a lot of financial jobs

It's gotten better here but it's still evident. People always ask if I'm related to someone and are surprised when I tell them I'm not

>government accounting

This is an oxymoron

Guess you don't watch family guy. That'd be one example. "Dmv was invented to get back at white people"
It isn't in this case?
