[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 30 and make 38k. I just got a GS-05 position back in January 2015. I've been a federal employee since 2008 but not on the GS scale which was my downfall. No promise of a raise. I'm late getting into the GS field so I feel like I'm way behind. Unfortunately i took that GS-05 so now i have to wait a year for a GS-07. I work a weekend part time job making $17/hr. which is about an extra 1k a month, maybe less. I'm trying to join the national guard for the benefits and potential career development/experience. More so joining the Md National Guard to set up for the future. Those benefits being my son's college paid for; VA loan for my next house - I'm in the process of buying one now; and to go back to school free; oh and to wipe out my undergrad loans of 22k)...So i figured if my paycheck will be shitty then at least throw me some freebies.

I have a 4 year degree from Nc State University in a bullshit field of study.[/quote]

What was your major? Is there any way to transition to the private sector -- I imagine almost every private sector job would get you more than 38k? [/quote]
