I was on the website for HHS and clicked on their job openings. Thought I'd be nice to share.

I saw that some "Administrative Specialists" can make up to 155,000 a year.

I don't see any of what you're referring to.

So?

Those are GS-15 positions, not entry level administrative positions. GS-15 is the highest pay grade on the normal government scale (there's 3 other scales that go higher that cover non-appointed senior level positions and science/tech positions). A bachelors will get you in at GS-5~7, a PhD starts at GS-11 so anyone who qualifies is going to have significant relevant education/experience.

I do remember reading an article in the Wall Street Journal that said for the majority of job types (secretary, janitors, mechanics, etc.) the government pays higher salaries than the private sector.

Not really. Most government jobs or city jobs pay less, from what I've seen - you just get better benefits and retire with a seriously awesome pension.

I'm talking about what I know about government jobs in my area, especially (NYC).

My brother makes a pretty low salary as a chemical engineer for the city, but he's sticking with it for the benfits and the pension, and the fact that they'll pay for his grad school.

So you can drop your douchebag attitude. 🙂

Interesting that on average physicians/surgeons employed by government only made 1k less than private sector.

Average government secretary make 10k more than private sector and clergy make almost 31k more!

Optometrists take the big hit from working for government it seems, -40k for them
