I don't know about the US but in Canada I've seen some government positions advertised for 0-2 years experience that where the range for starting salary is $70-100,000. They are asking for specialized Master's Degrees (MPPs, MPAs) or doctorates but there are some.
Yeah, Rivals was talking basic masters which qualifies you for GS-7, and that's $43.5k in a place with a high cost of living adjustment.
- Basic masters earns you a year to qualify for GS-9, $53.5k
- Specialized masters with a certification will earn another year, MAYBE two if they really need applications, $64.5k and $77.5k respectively
- PhD earns a bit more and depends entirely on the field and the job.
In the end to make $90k right away in government you probably need to have at least 8 years of schooling, specialized with a thesis.
