   Agencies like the Corps of Engineers were the varsity in 1992. Professional and they knew how to do their jobs well. I had the privilege of working for such outfits before the times of PC fell. Indeed, it’s scary that I worked on the very last major public works project every done in the U.S. in the mid 1990s.

   Clinton and the 103rd Congress changed it all. Now half or more of any given Federal agency doesn’t even have the required degree for their job slots.

   What do you expect? GenX has three requirements or they raise hell, easy management jobs, high pay, no work required. And never give a bad evaluation to a GenX, they’ll run up the management chain trying to get you fired in a heartbeat.

   In these times of Depression all that changed. As for “PC” what do you really mean here? PC is so vague it really has no stable meaning. Get more direct please Nabuquduriuzhur?

   Why did Personal Computers ( or did you mean Plaid Cymru?) lower job standards in the public sector?

   Perhaps the land of opportunity has become the land of mediocrity?

   As a GenXer myself, unfortunately, I have to agree with you. I try to be as opposite as possible in that regard. I’d like to think that my parents raised me right!
