Despite many disadvantages in public service, three leaders in government last night illustrated the fact that satisfaction derived from such service can offset the unattractive features. The three public servants spoke at a Conference on Careers in Government in Dudley.
George V. Allen, Assistant Secretary of State, affirmed that the strongest appeal to the foreign service official is "the very type of work that he does." Allen enumerated varying experiences, security, good retirement, and salary compensations, as a few of the advantages available to the diplomat.
Administrative Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, William W. Parsons, said that Civil Service opportunities offer "fascinating and satisfying" results to the person who is willing to start at the bottom. "One of the most important aspects of an applicant is his attitude," Parsons continued. "Many students from Harvard, Princeton, and other schools expect to be treated like prima donnas, when they won't be."
Stephen K. Bailey rested his case on the opportunity for public service.
