[quote=Anonymous]There are tiers to public service. I used to work in the non-profit sector (albeit in a market with a lower COL) and made 30k a year working one FT job and one PT job. I didn't want to live my life that way. I grew up in a rural area thinking families that made more than 75k were rich. I chose to pursue federal service to have the public service piece and a better income. Six years later, I make 100k and my HHI is upwards of 200k. To me, we have an excellent lifestyle - something I'm not sure my childhood self ever imagined. Sending our kids to private school wouldn't be a choice we would want to make, regardless of if it was affordable for us (honestly don't know, but considering we live below our means I suspect it could be). Its all relative. [/quote]
