Government employment can provide benefits and job security, but relying solely on government to create job opportunities is not always realistic. So I think individuals have to be proactive and create their own employment opportunities through business or other means. This can be a risky challenge but with hard work and dedication it can be a rewarding experience.
Usually a job in a government agency is only enough to meet a person's needs in a month so that person will take a very long time to grow to become rich, unless his monthly salary is very large because he is placed in a certain position that is better with a bigger position. That is why most government employees in many countries still want to work independently to continue to increase their income in life even though they can also live without having to work anymore because they already have a monthly salary through government agencies.
Don't forget about other perks, like nice pension, free public transport, some free medical care etc. Don't know if it's in all countries like this, but I'm sure in most of them.
So, people who choose to work independently, they take that risk, imo. Not only they can lose their job any time, compared to the stability of working for the government, but they also knowingly refuse many other bonuses.
