Factor in job security. Seems like you have to really really try to get fired for most public jobs.
If they can't fire hillary, obama or eric holder than it is impossible to be fired in the public sector.

I left a job in another state to move back to LA with my wife and kids for a job opportunity in same industry. Was about $20k pay cut. We since had another child and are staring at private school tuition in the near future. Things aren't going exactly as I'd planned with the new gig, so I've started a new business that will take us back out of LA for good and will allow for home time but also much greater earning potential long term. It's different for everyone but I finally realized that while I am always going to spend a lot of time with my family, I also need to be fulfilled with work and greater success in that part of my life. It's a balancing act that takes constant monitoring because they both affect one another.

Not a public sector worker, but a career nonprofit one. Have always chosen time over money....have worked PT w/benefits for 15+ years. I don't need more stuff. I can always use more time. Every Friday off is way way way better than $20K more a year, to me. The ability to go fishing when the weather's perfect, to visit my elderly parents often, to pursue significant non-work interests/projects....all of those are worth infinitely more to me than a fancy car, larger house, or built-in outdoor kitchen.
Also happy to half a self-employed spouse who feels the same way.
