Although I had a very good professional career with the Federal government, I never got any self esteem from the job because I always realized that I was overpaid and totally replaceable. I worked for the money. Some people overestimate their importance to their employer, especially if you work for the Government. I retired at 56 and did not regret it for a minute. I recommend watching the movie "About Schmidt" with Jack Nickelson.
