I work in the public sector for a lot less than the offers I get from the private sector. I haven’t once considered leaving.

Well I have, but that’s when the right decision drowns in politics and red tape, not because of money.

A lot of people would consider me an idiot, but I get a sense of duty and purpose from public service that is worth more to me than money.

Of course it helps that my pay check isn’t exactly bad. So it’s also a choice between good money and better money, I’m not sure how I’d feel if it was a choice between shitty money and great money.
