[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a chance it's worth it. You'll make twice as much in your sector. In FCPS you would be hired at step 1 on the masters scale, making $68k

IF you got a step RAISE each year (you won't, we have historically gotten them around 2/3 of the years), you'd end making $85k.  Your pension would be based on the average of your last 5 years working, so around $79k. You aren't eligible to collect that pension until age + years of service = 90, so if you are only working 7 years you wouldn't be able to collect it until 83 years old, and it would be $460/month.

The pension is valuable if you start by 25 and work for 35 years.  Otherwise is makes way more sense to go into industry.[/quote]

I’ll add info about the healthcare in retirement. Monthly cost for an individual is in the $833-884 range for an individual before Medicare eligible.
Here is a chart showing retiree healthcare premiums:
