I'm going to join the air national guard. They'll keep my clearance active, pay for some school and certifications and stuff, give me more work experience, and provide some stability while I meander through the corporate mess looking for something better.

Prepare to do less with more headache, paperwork, and stress. The people I worked with/for were lazy, and felt entitled to a job. Politics is king, and the pay required an act of Congress (literally in my case). I make more money, get more done, and don't stress as much in Corp America.

However the hours were good, the bene's ok, and the 100% bus subsidy was cool.

Yeah im still in college and have a clearance already - standing offers with a few branches, security clearance makes life EASY.

Where are you located? The government jobs are easier to come by in the Northern va/DC Metro Area.

I've interned for the past 3 summers with government contractors - but have no direct experience at a government agency. The contractor world has been great for me, kindof chance it when contracts end and the search for new work begins.

Overall - Government work == awesome. You get lifetime health insurance

Just my opinions for what they're worth and the limited experience i have with them, most family members have government jobs though and they enjoy it.
