    Default Re: I think I want to work for the Government

    I don't work for either the SEC or IRS, but I've been a Fed employee of some kind since age 17.

    With both accounting and law degrees,

    I'm actually starting to hate many of the people I see there.
    You can do something about that in the FBI. Many of their agents are not armed. But how do you feel about 'packing'?

    -edit-
    As to what you can expect: (-) you won't get rich (as in millions), but (+)you and yours can live a fairly comfortable middle-class life. (-) Long hours at first, when you're working in 'the trenches'. (+) Retirement available after 20 years (on 50% of whatever your 'top 3' years' wage was). (+)Job satisfaction. (-) Work directed by others, usually not initiated by you.
