| Yes. Lawyer for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I like my job a lot. I work 40 hours per week from home. I get paid overtime and bonuses every quarter. I can earn maternity comp time due to a union contract. There is room for advanncement within the agency should I choose to go that route. That said, the work is very repetitive but I like the area of law. I am on the Trademark side. The benefits far outweigh the downsides, of which there are few. |

| Yep, DOJ attorney handling criminal appeals. I like my job and my work-life balance. |

| Yea. I work for a financial regulatory agency. Like the balance and the work is very interesting and relevant. The only downside is the commute which is 70 minutes on a good day. |

| Yes; federal law enforcement; enter as a GS-5 and get automatic promotions to GS-13 and fairly easy in my agency to get a 14 and 15; get paid LEAP (an additional 25% of GS salary); have a take home car (gas and repairs paid for by Gov't); travel the world (with many opportunities to be stationed for 3-5 years overseas); early retirement; and get to play "cops and robbers." Best job ever. Not sure what I'm going to do when I grow up though...... |
