There is nothing wrong with government. You just need to know someone. I have worked on multiple government contracts, typically through someone I knew who needed something done. I built a product and sat down with their purchasing manager, and grossed a few grand a month for pretty minimal effort. And the government is already so used to bad software, so long as it works, you are doing them a favor. As with most industries, you need to know a person, a problem, and a solution to make any money.
