I don't know why you can't accept what you are being told by people who know, but you are just wrong. At the $150K level in the government, you can be let go - so that you do not have that job security that you seem to think they do. People get relieved from their positions. Did you not hear Gates say the other day that he would fire the General in charge of the Joint Strike Fighter Program? I don't know anyone at a senior level who is not working at least 12-14 hour days.
A lot of your perceptions about working for the government are just not true. They may have been truer at one time, but not anymore. Things have changed signficantly.
And yes, some people do parlay their government experience into industry jobs, particularly after they retire from the government. And some do leave mid career. But, again, I think you would be surprised at the number of people who have worked for the government for a long time -- not due to laziness, but because they feel what they do is important.
But, some of us don't go to work for industry. I could have, but I didn't choose to.
I wish I could introduce you to a lot of the people I know. You'd come away with a much different perception than the one you have. I know your current perception serves your political purpose, but it's not necessarily the truth.
