The job market is difficult these days, but it’s not a bad time to look for government jobs. While companies lay off employees left and right the government only adds and keeps jobs. Great, right? Club Soda forwarded me this job for the National Park Service. The position is for a Climate Change Program Manager.

The Climate Change Program Manager provides overall leadership and management of National Park Service responsibilities, policies, and interests in climate change programs in within the National Park System. The Climate Change office coordinates acquisition and application of broad-based scientific and planning expertise and technologies to support climate change and associated programs.

This job pays between $103,000 to $155,000 per year. Does this sound like a position that is useful? I won’t even go into the whole tired climate change nonsense. The National Park Service has been one of the most poorly run departments in the United States. It’s a shame because 50 years ago it was one of the best departments. Thanks to a growing bureaucracy full of clueless do-gooders it has become a terrible waste of taxpayer dollars.

The Department of the Interior needs to be downsized and broken into smaller departments. Smaller groups are more effective at allocating resources. When a bloated bureaucracy gets involved useless positions like a Climate Change Program Manager are invented to push a political agenda. The amount of wasted money in these government departments is staggering.
