From my experience mardy arse, not everyone is as shallow as you and I. Some people work for a myriad a reasons not to just chase 'wonga'.
Admit it, we're a couple of shallow wankers weaving our way through life with a bitterly cynical eye
I agree, some people don't work for the money. However, given the large number of public sector strikes we've seen in the past 8 years, and they have pretty much all been due to pay and pensions, I'd say such individuals are few and far between in the public sector.
