It seems that the paradigm has completely shifted from underpaid civil servants to overpaid Government bureaucrats who pull in six figures while the rest of us do harder work for less money. Wish I could sit at a desk and pull in a GS-13 salary while wondering where I will go to lunch today.
I agree. It seems to me that jobs in government, trades and technical vocations are the high paying jobs of the future.
College educated people these days will take a interesting
sounding job over wages and benefits. As a result professions like aviation do not offer much. Employers know that we blew a fortune in training costs to get there and are not to willing to throw it away over low pay. We hang on to the dream in order to save face in front of our friends and family. All the while loosing ground.
