I work in the (norwegian) public sector as an attorney. I have not worked here for a very long period, but so far the work has been above all expectations. I get access to a lot of courses/classes relevant for my field, I get to travel quite a bit, I have very good terms when it comes to vacation, hours per week etc.

Don't think this comparison is fair. For example, if you work in Singapore's public sector, then you're top dog (and you get paid like the best in private sector as well), public servant are well respected in Singapore because it is efficient and it delivers. Europe is all over the shop, you got rubbish (hum, italy...?
Gov jobs are the best With layoffs happening at all levels in the private sector, why would you want to go there. Pros of gov jobs: security, stability, and good pay at higher levels. Cons: Your laid off private sector friends are jealous of you and make jokes about the evil gubmint. I don't know what exact gov job you are looking at, and whether its local, state or federal. You can check out this site: http://www.governmentcrossing.com/ Its got jobs from all three levels.
My company contracts a lot of government work. From what I can tell people with government jobs hire contractors to do what the government hired them to do. But the people with the government jobs get the government benefits, retirement, etc. To answer your question, no, government employees are not very highly regarded. And it's not "public service" when you are getting paid more than your competent private sector counterparts, when there is, in fact, a counterpart. It is quite the opposite. Oh, by the way, government employees don't pay taxes, they receive taxes.
