Study: College seniors wary of government jobs

CNN.com - Study: College seniors wary of government jobs - Jun. 3, 2003

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Many college seniors in the United States want jobs that help the public, but are wary of seeking government work with its reputation for bureaucratic delay and waste, according to a study released Tuesday.

"It (government) has a persistent reputation as a place that does not do well in meeting student expectations on most of the things they value in a job," according to the survey conducted for the Brookings Institution, a private think tank.

"It is also seen as less than stellar in helping people, spending money wisely and being fair."

The study was based on a telephone survey of 1,002 seniors majoring in liberal arts and social work taken in April by Princeton Survey Research Associates. It found that the nature of the job, not the size of the paycheck, was still the key consideration in deciding where to work.

But those who want jobs that help people feel that nonprofit companies are much more effective than federal, state and local governments in serving individuals. Many are also confused about how to even apply for government work.
