Firefighting and law enforcement isn’t for the “me, me” generation that wants to WFH and post on Instagram about living their best life. It’s for resilient people that aren’t afraid of in person work, long shifts, and have the ability to work under life and death pressures.

They get similar pay to nurses yet get lifelong pricy pensions that nurses do not. Pay them a higher salary and stip with the lifelong pensions that others, like nurses, do not get. Save for your own retirement.

Bolded is a weird way of saying “can’t find an easier job that pays as well or better.”

Bolded is a weird comment that the poster probably thought was some sort of flex. Imagine a parent championing the easy way out for their children? Those are the parents churning out low skill, low will workers.

No, they’re churning out Fortune 500 employees that make twice as much to WFH three days a week. Sorry you bought into the puritan worldview instead of the epicurean one.

Right. The DCUM fallacy. Everyone’s child is a superstar. It’s cute. IB & PE for everyone. Silicon Valley is full of kids from Fairfax.

It’ll be interesting as AI eats away at “Fortune 500” jobs, but not the firefighter and police jobs.

Why should my taxpayer dollars fund lifetime pensions for these roles when other back breaking work like nurses earn similar income, deal with risks including safety and health, and don't get pensions? Stop the madness, stop paying lifetime pensions, fund your own retirement the way the rest of us do!!

If there are no Fortune 500 jobs, there won’t be any police or firefighter jobs because jurisdictions will not have any money as everyone becomes serfs trying to sell each other HVAC services (another stupid hobby horse, as if everyone is in trades, demand plummets).

I guess you can join a billionaires private security team?

Workers also pay into their pensions over the course of their career and that money compounds over time. Don’t hate on people that choose an occupation that provides a pension. Additionally, why do you think firemen and police officers don’t also have Roth IRAs or other deferred compensation plans?

No, they’ll always be around to deal with criminals, to include the recently unemployed white collar looters and domestic batterers.

Taxpayers fund over 50 percent of state police pensions. Pensions generally don't exist much in the private sector anymore, just small matches on 401ks. Mainly government jobs. We need to stop paying crazy pension funds, that is money that could go to better use. Be self sufficient and fund your own dang retirement without taxpayer funds. This is an insane cost to expect taxpayers to continue to fund when others do just fine without it!

A non-supervisory Federal Special Agent in the DC area caps out at about $195k (50-hour workweek, most with take home cars). Even higher income if you work in an OIG office with FHFA, SEC, FDIC and a few others.

My son is a cop in a small city close to DC that has next to no crime and is populated with high income. Makes good money and pretty much gets to read and watch movies while waiting for the calls that never come.

Why are our tax payer dollars payong for this plus lifetime pensions (which even if they pay into, is still a large part tax payer funded)?? Ridiculous.

Fed employees were historically thought upon to be under compensated. I worked for 29 years as an agent and have been collecting a pension since age 50 which is 72% of my high 3 plus annual COLAs plus SS when I’m ready to draw. Can’t complain but that’s under the old retirement system.
