Law Enforcement. They can literally get away with murder and they will be protected by their coworkers and bosses.

My mailman says USPS is still a good path; federal job with pension. He likes being a carrier, but says he’s trying to get his kids to look at other roles within the Postal Service, like mechanic/technician or logistics or IT.

I do think any federal job that doesn’t get dragged into politics too much would be pretty solid.

I’m a software engineer, and I don’t experience any of the issues that are commonly complained about in other industries. I get paid well, I get 6% 401k matching, I never have to do overtime, my company frequently pays for social events during work hours (instead of working that day), everyone I work with is easy to get along with. I work from home (I recently started going in one day a week, but it isn’t required, and I won’t get in trouble or anything if I don’t come in), I can take long lunches, I can stop working early if I finish all my work, I get 3 months paid parental leave if I have a baby, I get 5 weeks PTO a year, all my work expenses are paid for. I could go on and on. I literally don’t have a single thing to complain about regarding my job. And I felt the same way about my last job until we got bought out by another company. It took me only one application to get a new job when I decided that I didn’t like the new company that took over. I even found my first job within a month of graduating college, and that was with one week of that being Christmas/New Years.
