[quote=Anonymous]$100k is not a lot of money. I don't understand why so many people think that Fed admin assistants earn a lot of money. Some people have worked 15 years to make $100k.

So how much should someone make? Where should they live? Should everyone make under $60k and live in Frederick and commute hours to DC, while all the "educated" people live in DC proper and bike to work? How long should someone have to work to make a salary that is will pay for their kids to go to college, enjoy a vacation or even feed themselves. Or should only people who attended high end universities earn over $100k?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone making more than 100K without a masters degree deserves to have a pay cut. The HR and admin employees know they can’t make the equivalent in the private sector. Those with professional degrees can easily double to triple their current government salaries. [/quote]

This is one of the big problems. Too many positions in government allow people grade and step increases without merit. HR and admin employees no matter how long they worked at a private company (unless you are the head of HR) would rarely be earning 100K plus just for longevity. I know a lot of people in the government making significantly more than those in private industry for equivalent work (though there are few equivalency's in the private sector for a lot of these jobs). I'm not talking about lawyers and scientists who are highly trained with advanced degrees who absolutely should be making 100K plus to retain compensate and retain them.[/quote][/quote]
