I think I want to work for the Government

[Ice]

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,

If you don't mind saying, what do you do?

You can do something about that in the FBI. Many of their agents are not armed. But how do you feel about 'packing'?

I wouldn't have problems carrying a gun.

-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.

The SEC semi entry level accounting job was paying 83,000 with full benefits. I mean, it looked pretty good to me.
