What good is stability is that means only having enough for your monthly needs with no savings left over?
Also, what if political and economic conditions change such that your government job barely provides enough to live on? Is it really impossible to loose this job?
You are 22 years old. Now is the time to take risks and push yourself outside your comfort zone. Taking risks will also make risk taking feel more normal, setting you up to take more and better risks in your career. If you were 40 years old with savings built up, I would say the government job sounds like good security.
