“When students hear the words ‘public service,’ they think of the kind of work
they see in the nonprofit sector,” wrote Paul C. Light, senior fellow, The
Brookings Institution, in describing the results of a 2003 survey of 1,002
college seniors majoring in the humanities, social sciences, social work, and
education. Only 28 percent of the students said that working for government
was “completely public service,” compared with 58 percent who saw nonprofit
organizations in that light.[1]
