Lol, Domo, I can’t imagine you would give up a meager pension that you yourself fed into thru payroll deductions after 23 years of toiling in “the system” for low pay.
You stated yourself that you believe you make more $$ working for a private enterprise. However, if you have never applied to any government position, you do not actually know if you are “hiring material.” Until your lengthy application is processed, you take (and pass) the required written exam (if applic), you interview (sometimes multiple times with one agency) and ALL your background checks are run (and the govm’t employer is satisfied with “who you are”), you don’t even know IF you can even obtain a position with govm’t!
Until such time as you go thru the above described process, you have no ideaif you have or would have had the “choice” of a public or private “career.”
