Good point.
When I was an auditor for the state the average pay for my level was $60K plus benefits. The "Mahogany Row" for the department was well over $85K and the head made six digits. This mind you, is one state department. Granted, all the auditors were required to have a 4 year degree in accounting. Same is true for the attorney general's department for the state (needing a law degree).
This pay rate is much less than the earning potential for an accountant and lawyer with their own practice, but the hours are 8-5 for the civil service employee, much less than what would be required for the private sector.
Most state jobs are at 36K.
But, putting it back on you, Gman, those jobs are open to anyone that meet the requirements. Not all civil service jobs require a degree. You could drive truck for the post office, for example. Why don't you apply?
Or..... write or call your congress person and let them know how you feel?
