— The median retirement income in the US is $4,190/month. (COMMENT: My Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is $5,262/month a) because I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year, b) because I worked for IRS for almost 9 years before that, c) because I worked for the Post Office for almost 3 years before that, and d) because I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. In today’s dollars, $5,262/month is only 44% of what my GAO salary was in 1997 and less than what my IRS salary was in 1972.)

ACCOUNTANCY AGE
— The evolving accounting industry now demands a more diverse talent pool (COMMENT: I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA when I was 32. The aforesaid did not help my career because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger. IRS never promoted me to GS-13. GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31. GAO delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and never promoted me to GS-14. GAO forced me to take its early retirement “offer” when I was 49. The aforesaid is called patronage, up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— 15 Career Ideas for People Who Love Cars – Aalon Widmar (COMMENT: My quest for a successful career in the automotive industry ended abruptly in 1971 when I was 22 years old when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I needed money to help support my mother and brother in accordance with the financial hardship draft deferment that I had. Further, I got almost 3 years of federal seniority and unused sick leave restored that I had earned working for the Post Office 1966-1969.)
