Not defending any of that. In addition it also doesn't help that we've had generations of parents telling kids to be lawyers and doctors and PhDs and avoid any type of civil service work. I feel like a large contributor to the apathy surrounding our government institutions is that nobody wants to be a civil servant. I'm not sure how exactly to fix this, it's just an observation.
- idopmstuff 4y agoI feel like that's generally because parents want their kids to be financially secure, and civil service jobs generally pay pretty poorly. That said, policing is often an exception - there are places where they're underpaid, but often their salaries are solid relative to cost of living.
