<p>I'm thinking about a career working for a state/federal government, particularly in some kind of IT division. I know that those jobs are notorious for being overly stable. However, I'm still looking for pros and cons. Let me know what you think (positive or negative) about those kind of jobs.</p>
<p>What does "overly stable" mean?</p>
<p>Increasing, IT job/government job is an either/or thing as more and more IT jobs are contracted out out by government agencies.</p>
