Governments. Oh how I love government work.

As a consultant, earn 2x as much and work on legacy systems that offer a lifetime of work.

It really is quite wonderful

Tell me your ways. I wouldn’t mind working in government. Bonus that I’m a veteran (states) but now I’m 40 and still new to software ( 3 years experience self taught )

Only issue would be remote work!

Governments are serviced by a long chain of middle man businesses, and at the end of the chain is usually a group of highly paid developers with high job security maintaining legacy applications.

It isn't fun, but it is lucrative
