Uncle Sam has never been very popular with MBA graduates, most of whom are accustomed to the hefty signing bonuses and competitive salaries in private industry. But with the U.S. shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, many companies freezing wages, and an MBA job market turning more dismal by the minute, the stability of government is starting to look a lot more appealing.
