If you don't know the difference, you really are naive.
A JOB is where you hire on at $ 40K with a company that NEEDS you to help provide a marketable product. IF you do a good job, you become an asset to the company and get annual raises for many years and eventually rise to management.

Government WORK is where a friend or relative of someone in government is given $500K per year to do some make-work study for two years and gets an allowance of $80K per year to hire a couple of drones to push paper for two years. NO actual purpose, no possibility of advancement, and no future. Total $1,160,000 spent, results - zip, but not expensive enough to be investigated.
