Now, with that said, working for a government agency is working for an employer who will always go back on their word. Not because they are liars, but because our government is a republic. Our leaders change and change often. With that, the rules change and change often. What one administration does another can take back. Sometimes its for the good, sometimes its for the bad.
You know what? I like it that way. When something bad gets put in place, it can get changed. Unfortunately the good can be taken away too.No one and nothing is perfect, but I would love for you to point out a government better than the US Government. |
This is such a great country we live in, and it is great these discussions can occur, in 95% of the world this discussion wouldn't take place unless the government controlled it. Every profession goes through its ups and downs. I know many in here place every bit of blame on George Bush since after all he is the most evil person in the world
(those same people also think a government conspiracy caused September 11th, not bin laden), but the bottom line is that people in some professions, mostly those with a union, hate republicans, and poeple in other professions (mostly those without a union) hate democrats. It is very obvious that this is 100% a political thread, and I'm not going to debate which party is better or worse. The reason for this is that in this day and age there is not one politician that is worth a damn. ALL politicians are corrupt bastards. When you vote on election day, you vote for the better of two evils, not for someone who can turn things around, because that will never happen. Anyone who belives a word of what these politicians say when they're running is a fool, because history tells you that they say what needs to be said to keep their supporters, and win a few along the way. I've said what I felt needed to be said about this thread. Polarbear, I agree with most of what you've said, but back off a little on surreal. I'm sure he did some research on the profession ahead of time, maybe he didn't plan on the route things would take, but is obviously passionate about ATC. Surreal, just try to read what polarbear has said, other than any shots taken on you. He brings up valid points. The bottom line is that no one can count on the government living up to everything we think it should, because history shows that the givernment has let us down before, and it will let us down again. I'm going to leave in saying this, people need to stop being concerned with money. Money doesn't buy happiness. Everyone should choose a career field they are happy in, and as long as you can make ends meet do it. Anyone who chooses a job, and their decission is in any way based on money is a fool and isn't concerned with happiness. I've learned this the hard way. I'm in the process of changing career fields all because I was concerned with the money I made, not my happiness, I now realize my priorities were completely backwards.
Sorry about my run-on paragraph
