    Man, I’d be happy with 80% of what I get for less stress and more security. What kind of government job specifically?

      What kind of government job specifically?

      Most of them. Certainly the ones that have unionized. If you know someone in the inside, they probably know if there’s a union.

      You’ll see more unions in government work because while private organizations breaking up unions is ethically questionable; governments breaking up unions is just openly totalitarian.

      If I can’t negotiate with a private employer, I might be a wage slave, but I can ask the government for help.

      If I can’t negotiate with my government job, it’s not actually a job, I’m just a slave.

        I meant more specifically in OP’s case, but also which pay that much. When I looked locally (major city) all the G jobs were under 100k. Usually well under.
