    When I worked in local government IT, there were younger people who   
    started working there looking for job security. They were still   
    there, 30 years later.   
      
    We half-joked that some of the people working there started working   
    before their manager was born. Half-joking, because it was true.   
      
    It takes a certain mentality to work in a job like that for so long,   
    keep your head down, do everything you can do not stand out, do the   
    same thing day after day, take a union-mandated raise every once in a   
    while, and retire with a pension.   
      
    That ain't me.   
      
      
   ... Is there something missing?
