I worked in government and they were still obviously smarter than the gov workers. Experience is not everything and I think that should actually be a major lesson from government employment practices.



How can a 23-year-old with four years of college experience and one year of corporate experience possess more expertise than a government employee who has dedicated a decade to working within their specific domain?


The latter just collects the paycheck and could care less about anything else, they won't get fired.


No lesson will be learned as government employment is purposefully handicapped.
