Plenty of salaried people work 10+ hour days and aren’t compensated for the extra hours. Working 10 hours isn’t difficult. We have a female friend that works 12 hour shifts as a law enforcement officer. Here’s her two week schedule. It looks awesome to me.

Monday & Tuesday working

Wednesday & Thursday off

Friday, Saturday & Sunday working

That second week she only works [b]TWO[/b] days from Monday - Sunday.

[quote=Anonymous]$70k is under $35 an hour.  You can easily make $35 hour as an assistant manager at a decent fast food franchise. Some are paying over $20 out of the gate. Plenty of fast food and Wawa type places pay their managers will over $100k.[/quote]

It’s an entry level job. That’s what you make with a high school diploma. With a college degree you get a salary increase. With language proficiency you get a salary increase. Find a link to an entry level fast food job listing that meets your above specifications.

What’s the hiring bonus for entry level fast food jobs? Do they fit you for a Burger King hat, or are they one size fits all?

Does Wawa offer a pension and retirement after 20 or 25 years?

[quote=Anonymous]The car part is stupid, it’s a police car not whatever you want.[/quote]

People here downplay the take home police vehicle for some reason. It makes a difference. Officers keep a lot of miles off of their personal vehicles. They also save on gas and maintenance when it comes to personal vehicles because their commute miles are all on the police car. Even if your commute is short you’re still putting 3,000+ miles on your car driving to work each year. There is also more flexibility around driving the police vehicle outside of regular shift hours than some might think.

[quote=Anonymous]If you want to compare apples to apples, go work for US Park Police, you aren't dealing with DV calls all day, get fed benefits and they have $70k signing bonuses.[/quote]

By all means, join the U.S. Park Police. You’ll still deal with DV calls and car stops BTW. The $70k hiring bonus requires a 4 year contract, and is paid out bi-weekly over that time period. I’d rather join the U.S. Supreme Court police. The starting salary is $13k higher with a $50k signing bonus. Instead of small chunks of the bonus over 4 years the USSCPD pays $25k after the academy, $20k after year one, and $15k after year two. That means years 1-3 at the USSCPD are $100k each without overtime.

Let’s review what an entry level police job offers candidates with no college degree in the DMV:

Salary: $67k - $85k
Signing Bonus: $5k - $70k
Full salary during the police academy
Lucrative overtime availability
Take home vehicle: Department by department policy
Pension
Deferred compensation plan with match
Law enforcement now receive Social Security benefits
Retirement after 20 or 25 years
Up to a $25,000 tax credit for overtime worked
DMV specific subsidies for housing
All uniforms and equipment provided free of charge
Cost free continuing education & training within the department
Tuition reimbursement: amount varies by department
Full medical, dental & vision
Life insurance and disability insurance
Some departments provide child care subsidies

Which entry level fast food and retail jobs check off all of those boxes?[/quote]
