Wife went from 15 years in a high-powered consultancy role into teaching at FE colleges.
The incompetence and "couldn't give a feck" attitude of some the staff drives her mad, but she loves teaching - it's definitely a vocation thing.
Personally I steer my business well away from anything Public Sector. Thankfully, they prefer to deal with the big boys (who can waste big time and big money) rather than tiddlers like me. That doesn't stop various local business groups trying to rope me in though - they never take the hint.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

If you don't like money and you like lots of holiday then the public sector is where it’s at, a job for life if you don't mind being poor plus you can be sick as often as you like without question.
I overheard an HR person say that at any given time 20% of the workforce is on the sick, sounds high but looking around I can well believe it.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

You can also cite stress and be signed off for ages on full pay.
Consequently it takes ages to get anything done. It drives my wife mad. I keep telling her to go and use her Prince2 qualification and get paid properly for it.Comment
