I used to think that way till I joined. I also used to think that civil servants were overpaid slackers. Then I joined the service.
At least where I am, we work hard as hell (frequent OT and sometimes on Saturdays too) and the pay is very low for the complexity and volume of work we do (take home ~$3k at 30+ yrs old). Not as easy or unjustified as I had thought.
