Been in the service for my first job, left 3 years later.

AD means nothing in my board, most of them have no stuff reporting to them, in the private world they are nothing but senior executives...as in senior accountant, senior sales executive etc.

For the amount of work, these people are grossly overpaid. Where in the world can you go for 2 full weeks of training, without your boss/peers calling you in the middle of classes at all and knowing that you work is being taken care of while you are at training?
