Sorry, my generalization was meant to be specific to technical jobs in the government (with the exception of NASA and DARPA).
While I don't dispute the auditor is performing a vital function for the government and loves his job, the role of a technical person and auditor cannot be compared. In his case the government supplies the auditor with more than just a salary and security, they provide him power that can't be had elsewhere.
For a technical person, the government is the hole you go into to die because you no longer love what you do.
- pmorici 18y agoYou don't think there are technical problems unique to government that might interest some people?
- michaelneale 18y agoI think you are being overly general - but I am sure there is a large percentage that fit your generalisation.
- dgabriel 18y agoOh, I don't think that's true. My dad worked as an EE for the Navy for 35 years, and he got to do cutting edge stuff with sonar, oversee computer installations on submarines, etc. And then he retired at 61.5.
