Plumbing vs. working for government

摘要

It's tough being a plumbing contractor. You may not be cut out for it. Here are 15 reasons why you should quit, close your business and go to work for the government. 1. No more long hours: When you work in a service industry like plumbing, there are times you get involved in a job that runs long, followed by one emergency after another. Who wants to work long hours when you can work from 9 to 5 with the government? 2. Never be on call again: It stinks being on call. You try to relax, take in a ball game, and the mobile goes off. Back to work. Screw it. You won't be on call with the government. 3. Get a week-long vacation: There's no vacation when you work as a small contractor. You can slip away for a weekend or even three or four days, but you never really take a vacation. You take the phone with you. You worry someone will steal you blind or that things will fall apart or that calls will be missed. Slip away for a week with the government and no one really notices.
