Don't neccesarily let entry level pay influence your decision. As you rise up the GS scale you make good, decent to really good money (a buddy of mine retired from one agency making very good pay and was handed his credentials in the other hand for another agency...making a substantial increase as basically a contract employee) Plus, depending on what agency you work for you get differentials (and what some would call overtime...but it's paid in lieu of OT as they presume the hours will be worked...and if you work over, oh well!)
I will say that the retirement from what I understand has gone downhill...sadly.
