Max salary aside (which is obviously reserved for the bosses - what can the rank and file expect to pull down their first 2,3,5 years on the job?), the problem with working for the government is that you're working for the government. I don't think you can fathom the level of bureaucracy and pointy headedness that exists in the government. For most it is a burden too great to bear.
