Public-sector employment – another way to be shielded from reality.

About This Quote

Public-sector employment — another way to be shielded from reality. Public-sector employment is the only job that allows you to be protected from reality. Everyone else must go to work, where they are subjected to the harsh realities of the world around them. They must face the fact that everything they do is either wrong or will hurt someone. The public-sector jobs are so cushy, so idealistic, so safe, so sheltered, so unnecessary that it's no wonder people pay more attention to the problems of the public than of private industry.
