&lt;p&gt;Following on from this morning&#39;s revelation that &lt;a href=&quot;/industries/government&quot;&gt;government&lt;/a&gt; hiring has remained strong even as the rest of the economy tanked, we&#39;ve nominated careers in government as our &quot;career of the week.&quot; (See the hiring stats here.) As a sampling of some of the content we&#39;ve got for anyone considering entering the public sector, check out this profile of the Government Accountability Office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be warned, though, that a career in government isn&#39;t all roses in the garden. Sure, you&#39;ll probably care a lot less about the outcome of the current healthcare debate what with the bumper plan you&#39;ll be entitled to as a federal or state employee, but there are drawbacks too. As one former State of Illinois employee told us in a review, chances are you won&#39;t be making serious bank any time soon: &quot;Working for the government - state or federal - is not the road to a luxurious lifestyle measured in dollars.&quot; Not that that&#39;s the be all and end all, of course. The same source goes on to say that &quot;it is a very satisfying career personally.&quot; You can find the rest of that review here, as well as many more opinions from current and former government employees right here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those truly interested in the field might also want to keep an eye out for the upcoming &quot;Vault Guide to Government Agency Careers,&quot; which is due for release in a few short weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--Posted by Phil Stott, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
