Topic: Government job or private job? (Read 955 times)

In addition to your point, I will also add that it depends on the nature of the job too. I don't know the part you're from but if you conduct a research today on people's opinion about private job, you'll discover that majority are into private work due to inability to secure government job. It's never their preferred choice to work with private organizations. There is nothing to write home about about private jobs. The organization decides your salary and you either accept it or reject the job. I have seen cases of private organizations owing their staffs for more than three good months salary and end up paying on installment when they decide to pay. Let not even talk about yearly bonus and promotion packages or even pension after retirement. An organization struggling to pay staffs salaries, you expect them to surprise their staffs with allowances and packages? It's not possible.

Of course, government work is not completely perfect, it has lapses too but much more better than private work here. Your salary is assured, it might not come early as expected some times but will certainly come. Your promotion is guaranteed and you will have access to numerous yearly packages and loans if interested. You don't need to worry about your living standard after your retirement because gratuity and pension got you covered. Aside that the work in government work is more less than in private works, the pay is also more favorable too in government work. The best of it is to become your own boss with investment and entrepreneur.

As they all said too that government job is more preferable than private job all because it's pensionable quite alright,but 99 percent of people working in government are not giving much concerned in it because they called it government job,they do it anyhow after all is not their private jobs
Many of the people who work in government job has their own company out their that's why they give less concerned in the government jobs,but is quite a pity that many don't even have the government job either private ,but to crown it all I prefer private job than government jobs ,many relied on the pensions which government are not even paying again ,if u are lucky u will receive yours ,but if u are not u will not see anything,so in this case is good to concentrate on your private job and do it very well ,even after your death your children can still maintain the company which optimistic concerned

In my opinion, it is depends on your country. However, in a private work, you have the right to decide the amount you wish to be paid based on the certificate and talents you can bring to the organization. In my country, I would prefer a private job because, in some cases, when it is time to receive your monthly salary, it may be delayed. After you have worked hard to get paid will become a problem, you may enter another month before receiving the previous month's salary, while in a private job, your salary will not be delayed. The advantage of a private work in my country is that the month does not always comes to an end before receiving your salary.

Some people prefer government jobs because they can leave at any time, they cannot come to work for three days, yet they will get paid at the end of the month, whereas in a private job, you must have an emergency before you can leave, while in government jobs, you can do whatever you want.

They Both have there advantage and disadvantages, private job will give me you time to do other things, since you are your own boss, but at the same time government work is pensionable and secured, they hardly sack when it comes to government jobs,but  I will love the private jobs so I can have time to venture into other businesses, if you have a good and multi national business, you don't need any government pension. Come to think of the pensions it's just a token,most times not even enough to take care of responsibilities.

There is no guaranteed you will not lose your government job because this is also available you can lose this as well with you need to manage things by your own, and you can manage this all in private jobs as well even I believe all jobs are having their own benefits and disadvantages as well and usually peoples those want to do something big they need to go with their own work instead of trying into job but still job is jobbed its government or private.
Few years back there were trends with mostly people's love to go for the government jobs, and then we have some change and multinational companies and big giants came which were good option, and now we have all things on own as what we need to achieve is more important.

Jobs in private companies are temporary, you can lose your job anytime. But if you do a government job then your job will be permanent. There are some private companies where the salary is high, but not as many benefits as government jobs. Wherever you work in government or private sector you have to work under others. But if you are a business then you can manage the business yourself. Even if you do business, you can provide work opportunities to others. So I like business.

Well government job has it own benefits compared to private which the boss can terminate your contract at any time when they seem to notice that your presence is no longer needed at the work space. Just like we have seen when Elon Must bought Twitter, he had no option than to terminate the jobs of thousands of people because he felt like there presence is no longer needed at the workspace.
Government jobs are more safer when it comes to workers termination of contracts.

Actually, working in the government or private sector is the same. the only difference is the work system and work regulations. If I was asked to choose the government or the private sector, currently I would prefer to work in the government and if I was asked to choose in the past I would prefer to work in the private sector. Why so? Government jobs are currently more promising than those in the private sector. The only difference nowadays is that working in the private sector is far superior in wages or salary. Currently private employment is very, very cruel with its regulations and systems. In my country, private employees/laborers are currently only given contracts for a maximum of 6 months and a minimum of 3 months, isn't that cruel? In the past, private workers who lost their contracts did not stipulate in the contract when they ended their work. but now as time goes by private workers/employees are increasingly marginalized by the existence of new systems from private employers. there is no severance pay, no leave pay and there are still many regulations that are considered very detrimental to private sector employees themselves. It is clear that with the way work is arranged in contracts where the contracts consist of 3 months to 6 months, many private employees are afraid of their future accounts, unlike in the past, which used a post-contract system, employees will not think about when they will stop working before their retirement...

I will definitely choose government job because I will get many benefits in government job than private job. I will get retirement allowance if I work in government but I will not get retirement allowance if I work in private company. But in our country the number of candidates is very high and government jobs are not easily available without bribery. In our country it is very difficult to get a government job whoever gets a government job is very lucky. I tried a lot to get government job but didn't get government job. So I decided to do business.

you can be doing government Job and you will still be doing other things that will make you not to touch the government salary because, government job use to give their workers two weeks on at work and two weeks off for them to relax very well before they can resume work in two weeks time which is the reason many people are doing everything possible to get government job than private job.

Government job will not stress you like the way private job used to stress people because, the owner of the private job will want you to be doing double work so that the company will earn plenty money to pay workers salary and other raw materials that will keep the company progressing and, the day you will complain that you are doing double work it can lead to sack because there are many graduate looking for private job.

As a person it is best to make an informed decisions as to this regards of choice of whether to work for private or public sector, the choice will definitely varies from individual based on career objectives and goals, environment, the pay rate, the nature of the job does it play down to suits you according to your standard. Answering this questions might make you arrived at what will work best for you.

If we talk about the salary then it has to be said that in many cases private jobs are much better than government jobs. Because the salary is often higher in private jobs, but in government jobs there are more family benefits which are not available in private jobs. But currently there are many companies in private companies in the world. Who offer family medical care and other services to their employees. Government jobs pay many times more, they are newly joining private sector jobs introducing pensions or end-of-life security.

If I am offered then surely I will choose government job because government job has many benefits which are not available in private job especially in my country private job condition is very bad any moment one can lose job from the company. Based on the conditions in my country, a civil servant has no job security and has to work hard and the pay is very low. If a person makes a mistake in the last 30 years of service in a private job, he is fired or if he is in a bad position in the company, he does not hesitate to fire even a person who has served for 20 years out of 30 years. Job worker his job is not guaranteed his life is not guaranteed he will not get any pension but a government employee he can work very cheaply he can withdraw cash at the end of the month. I will definitely go for govt job based on the condition of my country even though I haven't got govt job yet.

It becomes pretty easy to do comparisons between government and private jobs when you are from a country like mine, where the private jobs are in general better paid, with more demand and the lack of competition with the state sponsored jobs. In my opinion, one of the ideal scenarios would be to live in a country where both options are good and desirable, regardless of whether the boss is the state or some private person.

Also, I believe the vocation and the choice of job based on ones preferences and hobbies is also out of discussion, in the most of the cases the best job is the one which makes us feel good and satisfied with whatever we are doing. It would me a discussion for a different thread though, how we are supposed to make a choice for a job, based on our skill and aspirations.

For now I will limit myself to point out of situational private and state jobs are for the people living in an specific kind of society. The Venezuelan society, being as complex as it is, I would not dare to explain it all in a single post.

It seems like you're analyzing the advantages and drawbacks of both alternatives, which is fantastic! While taking a decision, make sure that you thoroughly examine all of the issues. I believe it plays an important role to assess your particular passions and hobbies. A government job may provide security and bonuses, but if you aren't interested in the work, it may not be a good match. The same is true for businesses of all kinds; if you are positive about a certain topic, it may be worthwhile to explore a career in that field, even if the pay is lower than that of a government post. It's worth noting that many government employment in these nations come with good compensation and medical advantages.

A government job it’s more preferable because of it continuity and guarantee to it peolpe in the society.

The particular answer to this question will be base on the country we live in, as for my country both government jobs and the private job are categories into types by types, like government jobs are divided into three categories, we have local government job, state government jobs and federal government job. Federal government job get higher money than the remaining two follow by state government jobs then last local government. Likewise in private jobs too they are categories into two graduates and non graduate. As for me money is my concern I know of people working for private organisations and they are paying them well far better than the federal government work, in my place we don't decide on what we will receive when working for private.

Unlike the other country that work on hourly rate I wil choose private jobs because I have no intention of working for anybody rather than to become self-employed, but since I can start it on my own I have to start from some where to build myself.

Office work can be a very profitable choice especially if you are the type of individual who pursues a career and is more comfortable working on others. Office work also gets a definite income in the form of salaries earned every month. Not to mention if there are bonuses and benefits for workers who show good performance. Office work also has regular working hours. When overtime or overtime there is a policy of giving overtime money or other benefits. And there are career paths. For employees who have worked in a certain period, they will usually be promoted or raised, which will affect the income to be obtained. Work in the office also has responsibilities according to its portion. Each worker has a different task and generally only focuses on doing these tasks, so the results can be more leverage.
But behind the advantages of work in the accounts above, there are also shortcomings. Namely the work environment that is not conducive, easily stressed and feels anxious, lack of privacy and follow the words of superiors and leaders.

But if you work alone or have your own business, what needs to be prepared is mental. It became one of the main keys before plunging to open your own business. And there are advantages if you work alone. First of the flexbel work hours, meaning that you can work at any time. Want to be briefly, all day until you don't sleep too. The point is that it's free to manage work time. The second, can determine your own income. In contrast to office workers whose nominal salaries are certain. Independent entrepreneurs can get more income. Because of that there is a saying if you want to be rich quickly, don't be an employee, be an entrepreneur. Third, know your potential. Indirectly we are encouraged to understand the potential of ourselves that can be developed. Being an entrepreneur means we are required to be more creative and innovative. Fourth, so it's more free to do things that are in demand. Fifth, honing the spirit of leadership, here includes the ability of business management, organization and problem solving.
But behind the profits above, there are also shortcomings if you work independently. Too large responsibility, often underestimated, income and work time is uncertain, the risk of loss.
The conclusion is that both office and own monkeys are the same as having the advantages and disadvantages of each. The most important thing is that you are in accordance with work choices and you do it seriously so that you get the success and goals achieved. Also make sure you do the work according to your ability, do not just be an entrepreneur or office worker to make it look cool.
Hopefully it can help you decide the work in the future friends 

Relating private Job to your own context I wouldn't take an offer;
Because, private enterprises don't really care about the well-being, affairs of her workers.But in the Government sector you have freedom, also can easily create time too for yourself either for holidays or for family,but that's not the case in a private sector they consume your own time and make you put efforts in growing there own business thereby increasing there personal resources.
One can't compare the pay by government to private enterprises... government workers are well paid and also escape the fear of losing there Job during staff reduction or crash in the business.
For me Government Job should be taken rather than some private Job.
But it's cool if one wanna work for a private firm,I believe one can develop or leverage on his/her skills here in a very constructive, positive competitive environment.

It is not all bosses that are hash and if you have never been bossed over by any one, it will definitely be difficult for to become a boss. I do not mean that being a boss mean maltreating your subject or showing unnecessary superiority. There are good and kind bosses, and these are the people you will work with and kindly feel so comfortable. Although these kind of people are hard to find, especially in the third world countries.

In the civilized economy, extortion is not a priority. In as much as you are productive as an employee, you will get your due respect. Apart from that, proactive government makes laws that protect labour. So, in a country where things are organised, no one will boss you unnecessarily.

That being said, it is not a bad idea to be a boss of your own only if you have the capital, idea and experience to keep going. The government of a working country even has some good ways to support their citizens aspiring to be self employed.
