Re: the likelihood of getting fired from a gov't job. Beware -- some gov't jobs are at will (I'm working at an at-will state gov't agency), and larger federal budget issues can create government downsizing on the private sector scale. When the Repubs, took over Congress in '94, entire offices/commissions/studies lost their budgets and were disbanded (my mom! my friends! all the little children!). Find out how the agency you're interested is doing re: budget, prospects, before tying on.
