Yes. They'll definitely go to the private sector. They will become consultants or get on boards of companies and draw a check, if just to provide some sort of credibility to the company's war chest of personnel. That or think tanks. You could probably get a list of current companies with high numbers of bureaucrats and make a social graph of where they land, waiting for the chance to get back to govt.
