yes, starting in govt is only good if you are a scholar on the fast-track. i'm 35, and my peers who were scholars are either director in civil service, vice principal in schools or LTC in army. if you are non-scholar and willing to work hard for higher increment, go into private sector. i worked really hard for 10 years in my MNC, and now i'm getting close to $200K.
