[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 45 and largely have this kind of job…I make twice that. If you have a college degree you can too.[/quote]

Perfect. I have a BA & BS and a grad degree.

The big thing for me not being in charge of anything. I need to move a piece of paper across a desk twice a week? 10 pieces of paper? I can listen to a podcast while I do it? Great. [/quote]

I was pretty sympathetic to your post— we have IC jobs and hire 40 yos for them but what kind of job do you think you can do while listening to a podcast?  You think we’re all a bunch of idiots processing TPS reports? Gfy[/quote]

I made 60K as a GS-13 with only a BA at age 28 right before I left for grad school in 2000.  But I worked diligently and faithfully on behalf of the public.  Almost everyone in my group was a decent or better worker.  We had a couple lazy exec admins/receptionists and a couple weird older employees who were grandfathered and protected by the staff union. No more deadwood than I've seen in the private sector.  And I've been working in the private sector since 2000.  My fed job was of value to society.  I miss that.  I mainly left for increased salary possibilities.  Which paid off.[/quote]
