btw...civil servants over here are paid pretty well. In most cases a minimum of $40k per annum and if he's older and has been in the system longer, then chances are he's earning a bit more than that. If he's in any sort of supervisory or management position, he would be earning over $60k and probably more.
Wages are much better here than in the US. Keep that in mind when he tells you how poor he is.
