I have been in the gov sector (DOE National Laboratories) since I graduated from college in '91.

They have offered decent pay, full upfront payment for my Master's Degree and an additional Bachelors Degree, 5 weeks of vacation per year, and a very generous retirement plan (10% into a 403b account with no matching required on my part).

The work environment at the two labs I have been associated with has been very low stress and my schedule is VERY flexible.

Aren't the labs on a completely different pay scale than the "real gov't"? That's what I'd heard anyway.
