i am interning for a government agency right now and i love it! my experience may be unique, but i find i am given the freedom to do interesting new research at work. also there is no pressure to get a product out the door, and no crazy un-attainable deadlines. of course the pay is probably less than i would be making in the private sector, but for me the increased freedom, and reduced stress is worth the pay decrease.
