I’m in Silicon Valley. Back in the days when I graduated fr college, only the not so bright kids went to work for the government. The driven kids all went to work in high tech. I have many friends high up at Apple, Google, Adobe, sales force, Oracle,….. just to name a few. Fast forward 30 years, government jobs are damn attractive. Pays better than high tech when considering the 80% pay in retirement. When did government making so much money to pay such high salaries?
