In a small government, will there be government jobs?

[NewUser]

Hi all, so I ask this question as someone that has a B.A in History and who aspires to become a public servant. I think I've always dreamed of one day working as a state employed bureaucrat and I've passionately read Ron Paul's, Peter Schiff's and Judge Napolitano's books and my political positions are in-line with them. Assuming the elected officials are on the side of Ron Paul and Peter Schiff, is it possible for someone with my philosophic leanings to be able to get a bureaucratic type position in government? Or would all the government bureaucratic positions be eliminated?

Thanks for any help!

Don't become an efficiency expert for the state.

Many of the people on this forum are anarcho-capitalists and as such see no need for the government at all. Realistically, there are too many people in society that love telling other people what to do, so useless government jobs will be around for a long time. Governments eventually run out of other people's money though, so be ready to move if that happens.

If you really want to be a public servant, start a business.

Per the articles in the constitution there are legitimate functions of government to be provided for. But sadly a 21st century megastate with innumerable tentacles was not never contained in the original blueprint. What transpired over the last 100 years is that the SERVANT has became the MASTER. This organism lives to fulfill and defend it's ever-growing needs & appetite as opposed to maintaining the parameters of a republic.

Small government will always have room for small people.

Run for Congress or the Senate I guess.

It's my personal belief that no one should be in government, at any level, unless they have worked in the private sector for awhile.

If there must be government jobs and politicians, they should have to be successful in a private sector career that is not in any way tied to government. No government contracts, no government licensing that limits competition, and no government permits that encourage graft.

May all of your dreams come true!

Here's how it works.
Big government = lots of government employees
Small government = some government employees
No government = some government employees from other places. For example, this is how Antarctica works.

That makes sense.

Government expands to meet the needs of expanding government. < Lather, Rinse, Repeat >

If your positions are in line with those guys, then why in the world would you refer to state employees as "public servants"?
