I work for a government agency (not in the US). Working in private would have certainly made me more money but I really love the ample time off (4 extra weeks compared to a similar private-sector role) that we get which allows me to focus more on family and personal persuits. Additionally deadlines are pretty much non-existent as projects can drag on for years.

I realise that this might not be a good environment for ambitious people, however it pays the bills and I get to do whatever I want with my time.
