Would you rather work for the government or private corporation? Why?

It depends on what the work actually is. For me, if I enjoy the work, that is much more important than pay and benefits. I do want a salary that will allow me to provide for my family, and a little more for saving and "fun money", but I'm not looking to get rich from work. More is better, but it is not as important to me as the actual work is.

I dont want either party to decide for me. I want them to do their job and protect me.  I can decide for my self thanks.  And when you make decisions for other groups that effects me that is wrong too.  I dont want to pay for your ineptness to take care of your self.  thats why I work look it up its a novel concept.

I don't trust the private sector. I think that because they also have to make a profit for their services, they have a conflict of interest in helping.

Working with the Peace Corp could possibly hurt your chances for future work within civil service.  This is because of possible anti-government views by Peace Corps members.\n\nOf course, if you don't ever want to work in civil service you have nothing to worry about.

Any job can be best job, and any field can be best field. If you want stability than go for the local government jobs because they are more secure and have some standard. If you have more ambitions then join the corporate world. I mean private jobs. And the best job is to be self reliant , take some risk and do some business.Rest is hard work and luck.

Why choose? Why not both?

If you're working for a politician of one of the two major parties, the choice is pretty clear.  Which is why you probably chose the job anyway, because you believed in that party's platform.\n\nBut if you're a more generic government worker, you'd go with the party that supports your own leaning.  For example, Republicans are seen as better for the military and Democrats are seen as better for social programs.  As a result, you find a lot of military people voting Republican.

I would invest in a concession business and I could do it for less than $100,000 including all my equipment so you could keep the other $4.9 million.\n\nI would do it for the freedom it would give me. I love to cook and be around people. My business plan currently under construction would enable me to fulfill my goals of making more money, working less time, and having more fun.

You believe that you, the individual, are responsible for your own actions and opportunities.  You don't require the government to help you and you simply prefer that it not restrict you in your efforts to succeed in life.

This gets my vote for the best question ever!\n\nI oppose gov't spending on stupid liberal studies about usless topics, but I would love to see a private corporation fund that study.  The results could be fascinating.

Government run agencies are not always willing to help the needy. People who know how to scam the system are usually the first ones helped. Private organizations help those who are trying to do things the right way. People helping people is a better way.

Because the government is self-serving, only interested in making themselves bigger and more money. It's not profitable to create an agency if it can't justify the expense

If you are asking what the responsibilities of a government should be, I  have always found this definition to be the best...Anything the private sector couldn't, wouldn't, or shouldn't do. If an issue doesn't meet at least one of those criteria, the government should not get involved in it.

well, you won't make as much money as you could in the private sector...but it'd sure be a nice change of pace to have some smart people in politics as compared to some of the doofuses that are currently running things...:)

A national corporation does business throughout a country. It can be publicly or privately held. A private company is privately held, not owned by stockholders. There's really no way to compare the two.

You feel so maybe you are not confident with yourself. Private companies are not like Government. Their goal is to earn profits. Unlike Government who helps and supports some group of people.\n\nIf you are talented, I am sure you are welcome everywhere. If there is discrimination against you in recruitment, then there is the loss of that company.
