[quote=Anonymous]Seeing my friends a decade ahead of me getting laid off and struggling to find anything near their former salaries is what motivated me to look for a government job. I’m a widow and was getting nervous about the prospect of unemployment and not being able to afford health insurance (have a $$$ autoimmune disorder) down the pike. Started working for a local government at 44—eligible for partial pension with 10 yrs in, full pension at 20 yrs in. I make peanuts, so the pension won’t be big...but I love the work and when I walk out the door at 4 I am free.[/quote]
