State of California worker. 15 paid holidays plus vacation, sick leave, family leave, retire at 50 with 90 percent salary, life time medical and actually a very competitive wage. What's not to like. Also you can't get fired.

[Jim from C-Town]

It is lots of money and benefits with no accountability and a lifetime pension. Yeah Socialism!

Just saying.... I have a young relative who is working for a state gov. He is three years out of a Harvard of the South type college. He bought a Chevy Volt and part of the reason is he can plug in for free while at work. He is right of center.

By the time these beheadable millenials are ready to retire at their age of 50, the State of California will be long dead and gone.

They want to work for Government....but they want “meaningful, fun work...”

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Probably won’t get the pension either.

The government would do well to release forty percent of its workers and pare down.

I went to my daughter's high school graduating class baccalaureate on Sunday. The service had a theme-LOOK UP!. This refers to this particular demographic's propensity to bury themselves in social media in general, and cell phones in particular. The clergy, from different denominations, were in with the theme, as were other students and two smug, haughty and preachy faculty members.

The teachers went on incessantly, beating the kids up without mercy for about an hour, a demeaning spectacle for them to endure on such a day, and in such a place.

Obviously of the leftist political persuasion, the teachers deviated from their diatribe only to exhort the kids to public service, while demeaning private sector employment by equating it to "greed". My daughter is going to study business, and took offense to this, which made me proud. She believes that those who are successful in business cannot be so without "helping" others. Good point that.

For years, parents have been the ones that education chose to blame for the failures of our public education system, now it seems the blame is going to cell phones and social media, at least, that's what I understood from the interminable beat-down of this poor senior class, who had to endure it in silence.

I too, have bristled at kids burying themselves in their phones, but since the left seems to hate this so much, I'm reevaluating........

I can't blame anyone for pursuing this career path -- even if the pay, benefits and working conditions were worse in government than in the corporate world.

I'm in the process of leaving the corporate world and setting up my own shop. One of the things that turns me off about the corporate environment is that it functions just like a government bureaucracy.
