Topic: Government job or private job? (Read 1105 times)

If only we can decide on the kind of people that would employ us it would have been very nice but in this case nobody knows what is coming or the sector that would love to have them on there company, however if we have the opportunity to choose it will still be very difficult to make the right choice because government jobs has there own advantages while the private ones also have their bad side but in terms of longevity the government job is the best because is a permanent job and still after retirement you are entitled for pension but however salaries are mostly the issue but for private job salaries are very higher and the job can terminate anytime without any pension associated to it.

By the way, do we get the opportunity to choose between the Private or Government jobs? I guess not, because it is just fate that takes us to that job that hires us. A person can wish for a government job but may never get hired ? Similarly, almost everyone would want to do business but most of them can't do or even if they do they aren't successful due to lack or experience or funds.

By the way, i feel that a private job pays more than the government job but the job security is more in government job as compared to the private job. It's a general perception that you do not have to work hard in government job while private job requires a lot of hard work.

Theft is present in every human spheres, indeed. Regards this matter, you can be pretty assured that a private company won't last for too long if employees or managers start embezzling company's funds. The difference is that a public administration, the government, will last forever even with a continuous history of public funds embezzling. And you, as a citizen, will be forced to maintain the corruption schemes going on through the taxes you pay to live on that territory and to consume all the goods and services you need to survive.

If you let me choose the third option, I will choose business to earn money. If you limit me to two options, I will choose government job in the context of my country. I do not like jobs very much. If I have the opportunity to participate in business, I will never want to enter any kind of job. Because, here you will be independent and will be able to earn more than in a job. But you should have the ability to take risks. But in the case of a job, you do not have to face any risk, especially in a government job. In the context of my country where there is a shortage of jobs, I will not be able to spend my days in a private job and fear of losing my job.

Actually, whether it is a government or private job, there is not much difference and it all depends on us. Because if you work in a private company but have a greedy nature, embezzling company money and employee money, you are no different from corrupt politicians. You need to know that corruption exists everywhere, not just in government or state jobs.

I used to work at a private company and managers and directors still embezzled company money or worse, embezzled workers' allowances. It can be said that injustice and corruption exist everywhere because it is human nature. Don't just blame the government when greed comes from within ourselves.

I prefer private job, especially if it's possible to be an autonomous worker. In the reality of the country where I live, public jobs at the government are seen in a negative way, because the employees are considered parasites. Moreover, services offered by the government are quite poor, even though the wages can be high in some cases, what infuriates the rest of the population who is forced to pay those wages through abusive taxes which stay above 1/3 of yearly income of the average citizen.

When working on the private sphere, it feels like to be going against this system and adding real value to people's lives, instead of being just a parasite draining public funds without giving anything consistent and considerable in counter part.

It is a personal matter of everyone.  Everyone chooses his career according to his preference.  The offer you said whether to choose a government job or a private job basically depends on one's personal goals, dreams and financial needs.  I am talking about myself now, to be honest I don't want to do anything official or official.  I want to do something on my own initiative.  But I know it's not easy because I have to do something else to raise the money needed to do something on my own.  And to add that money I have to go back and do either government job or private job.  In this case, if I have any job, basically I will do it where I get more budget, not only me, but anyone else will do it where they get more budget.  But my goal is that until I can raise money to do something on my own initiative, I will work only until then.

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.
