[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we get past the myth of the army of public servants that could be making so much more in the private sector? I don't doubt that many public servants sincerely believe in the mission, but the vast majority of civil servants could not cut it long term in the private sector. This is especially true of lawyers. Sure, they may survive short term stints in big law or the private sector but most lack the temperment and personality to do it long term. That isn't necessarily a bad thing....[/quote] All the Feds I know who left small, medium, or big Law did so because they needed "normal" schedules or couldn't make it at those firms. Many of them are women with children, and I think it is great that we can get very talented people into the government this way. But to allege they are doing it out of a sense of service to the country is not true. They are doing it to make their lives manageable. Again, not a bad thing.[/quote]
