"a state pension doesn't really get you too far these days. "
LOL, well I can believe that but the vast majority of people dont have a pension at all these days and increasingly, employers dont even do any 401k matching.

Hey, if I got paid the same as the private sector I would be more than happy to manage my own retirement investments. The problem is, public employees don't. The typical gap is anywhere from 25% to 30% less in wages for the same job. People who don't get a pension consider that before they criticize.
You must be in a backwater IT market, here in Seattle area private companies pay at least double of what public IT people get paid and that is before considering stock options
