Steering Kids Toward Government
by Patricia McGinnis tember 11, 2001 and
(NAPS)--Like every parent, I
often talk with my kids about what
they want to do when they "grow
up." During these career conversa-
tions, I remind them of something
that too few parents
realize...their Uncle
Sam needs them...to
answer the call to
public service.
It's been more
than 40 years since
!President John F.
McGinnis Kennedy challenged
young people to "ask not what
your country can do for you, but
what you can do for your country."
There's reason to think about pub-
lic service as a career option right
now: Those who answered that
call are retiring, and a new gener-
ation of the "best and brightest" is
needed to keep our democracy
strong.
That's why it's so important for
the next generation to step up to
the plate. But, according to re-
search conducted by the Council
for Excellence in Government, the
relief bench looks empty.
The federal workforce is facing
an unprecedented crisis. By 2005,
more than half of federal workers
(some 900,000 employees) will be
eligible for retirement. Many of
them are senior managers, and as
a result, we risk losing an enor-
mous amount of practical knowl-
edge and institutional memory.
It's not just the government
workforce that is in peril. Accord-
ing to a recent national .youth poll
we conducted, young people feel
more positive about voting and
