I would totally agree and that’s why we’re trying to push more people towards it. I think all of the concerns you bring up are entirely valid but I think one huge piece of why people don’t go into public service after college is visibility of these jobs. Private sector companies advertise all of their internships and jobs super well whereas non profits don’t nearly as well. There is also the clear recruiting timeline for finance and consulting that takes advantage of college student’s general lack of information on future opportunities.
