Continuing the discussion from Is The World Good?:
I worked a “government job” years ago as a law clerk for a judge (was on a standardized government pay schedule, got govt benefits, whole nine yards). Relatively low level but not a janitorial position either. I actually gave a lot of thought to the issue of what government jobs would be acceptable at the time (I was more “libertarian” then) and decided that it was okay. That’s somewhat of a special case though, since 1) if you’re working basically a single person, you can vet out how much they’re aligned with you in terms of job-relevant values much much more than if you’re working for, say, a Department, 2) the context of the job was reviewing claims people had against the government, 3) it was max 1 year anyways.
