THAT is BS. Ridiculous.

Thats because the gov’t only employs important people…

I know for sure that State employees make much less than private sector though.

Depends what you’re doing. Maybe not entry level. Entry level kind of sucked, but once you start moving up that ladder it’s much better. I’m on rung 2…maybe rung 3 soon (crosses fingers)…and hopefully many more.

Im by no means bashing state workers I am just stating that they hire way to many. There is no need for half the road crews that stand around doing nothing. A flagger makes 30 dollars an hour. That is absolutely ridiculous

It all depends on the county you work in, when your a contractor anyway.
