What u say is true, if u don't bother about money, and if you are a person where you don't compare yourself with fellow people may it be salary or progress you can choose a government job, i will say about myself here, I'm in govt job now, I'm nowhere near the salary of my friends, in government job you will definitely do work because you were working till date, there will be some who will not work and still get the same pay hike like all other do and you should not take that in your mind, a person who work will be over burdened for sure, some time you have to prepare to pretend as if you know nothing, yep job guarantee is there but you have to work upto 60 years of age, if you are in city then inflation will definitely burden your pay for sure, last but not the least try to sniff out what is happening in that particular job where you are about to join and check out for promotion, pay , work nature, type of employees you are going to deal with etc, all the best and gud luck
