I have never been that motivated by “money” in any form for some reason. I am way more likely to show up to work if I’m getting something more meaningful out of it like helping a patient recover some sort of quality of life. So, no. I wouldn’t really be that proud of working for the government in any form, but I am fortunate to have the option. Some people have to do what they gotta do to get by and I don’t judge them for it.
