Very good and very accurate post, Rubicon.
I found out those same things when I worked for 36 years in HR for the Federal government.
When I was in my senior year of college (after being in the Army), I decided I wanted a steady job for a career. I took the Federal Service Entrance Exam and with the extra points added for being a disabled vet, I was lucky enough to be selected in the Veterans Administration Personnel Intern program. I knew I would never get rich but I am very glad I took the advice of my father and chose that as my career.
