- benj111 7y agoI was perhaps being slightly misanthropic. But the game keepers always seem to turn poacher. High ranking military bods end up with defence contractors. Financial regulators end up with working at banks (and visa versa), and politicians seem to end up getting various well paid consulting jobs. I suppose you could argue there are good reasons for it, I cant believe on some level these public servants aren't thinking of their career after retirement.
