Got a pension

In 2005, I left a sales job that paid commission to work for local government. In doing so, I took a pay cut. Why? Because the local government offered an old-fashioned defined benefit pension plan. I'll work there for 10 years and, thanks to a generous formula based upon age x years of service, will retire when I'm 55 on 50% of my salary. My old boss thought I was nuts taking a pay cut to work as a paper pusher but now she's calling me wanting to know how to pass the civil service exam to hire on.
