Hate to burst ur bubble dear...but wat package n privileges r u talking abt??
2 tell u da truth half of my family including my father r in da civil services in da 5 major depts of civil services i.e FSP, PSP, Income Tax, Customs n DMG..so i have seen it all...don't start me on da matter of PSP...oh yes they do have a lot of facilities but i sure wudn't want a life like dat for myself...FSP people gloat on da fact dat they earn more than their peers n r paid in dollars but keep this in mind at they have to spend in dollars as well ...income tax n customs used 2 b quite attractive...but there is nothing left in income tax now..n abt facilities...dear u only get a blue jeep in despicable condition when u reach grade 19...customs is still considered ok but da restructuring goin on in FBR will leave it no better than income tax in a couple of yrs time...n as far as DMG is concerned...honestly this dept has hit rock bottom...their ACRs r written by Nazims...so u seriously think dat they have any powers?? so don't talk abt package n privileges...da only thing left in CSS is da prestige ..nothing else...n for some dats everything they want in life...so i wud suggest only those to join civil services who have a strong financial backbone plus da determination to serve their people n country...coz otherwise dear u guys r just wasting ur time...coz i m telling u for a fact dat CSS cant support a lavish or even comfortable lifestyle n gud education for ur kids...my family is lucky 2 b one of da privileged ones in monetary terms...so we don't have dat problem...but surely da stories i have heard from my uncles n cousins r enuf to put off anyone from joining 'em...

so in my view da only 2 reasons for joining CSS r prestige n 2 satisfy da serving gene...nothing else..but for some dats enuf!

P.S i just wanted to put a few things in ur perspective..and absolutely no offense intended...CSS might not b my cup of tea but its in da blood so i have great respect for da profession
