[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about govt jobs like the US postal service in this area.  Mostly AA.  My observation only.[/quote]

White yuppies are not looking to work for USPS or DC Metro or UPS or in HR, you can't afford to live in NW DC or any "acceptable" neighborhood with those jobs. [/quote]

Idiotic post - plenty of GS-15 and SES HR folks alongside GS-15 and SES Legal folks in my neighborhood living in reasonable 800-1.2 m houses....[/quote]

Sorry but that is not the norm for HR. Most technical jobs pay more than HR. Yes there are some here in fed jobs making the GS 15 but there are plenty in the GS-11-12 series. Then in private industry those jobs start around $45k-I know because I've applied to some of those jobs. The pay isn't up there with law,medicine and even accounting/finance. [/quote]

Agree with pp.
Plus those gs15 people bought at faaaaar less than 800-1.2. To have gotten to gs15 by now, they have at least x years of service, say 10-12 yrs, which means they bought when houses were 400k. Forget being just a college grad climbing up the gs ladder. With restrictions such as you have to wait 52 weeks to be eligible for a higher grade, having attained gs15 (esp to be on the higher step) means you put in long years. Even those with legal degrees start at just gs 11 or 12 and I can assure you they are not buying those 800-1.2 houses unless the other non fed spouse earns way more. gs 11 paid me $63k. Anyhow.

Not sure what you're babbling about. 35% of my office (HQ DHS) is GS-15, and the average age is between 25-35.

I am a GS-14, age 29 and my husband is a GS-15 Director of HR. Combined we make $280,000.  We both have masters and we saved and bought a 1.1 M house. It isn't that uncommon - most of our neighbors here in our NW neighborhood are GS-lawyers and staff...[/quote]
