If serving the public is your calling, there’s a good chance you already know that you're probably not going to be raking in the cash. (Trust me, I should know. I spent 17 years as a public school counselor and the benefits came from serving kids, not from a big paycheck.)
While you can make a decent living working in public service jobs, oftentimes, your income may be barely enough to cover all of your monthly expenses. This is especially true if you have an overwhelming amount of student loan debt.
