[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Arlington County PD is raising their starting salary to $90k next July. The average starting salary for a college graduate with a BA is $69k. The vast majority of those grads won’t have a pension in their benefits package. [/quote] This salary is higher than the average engineering major starting salary in VA, plus Arlington County offers a $25,000 signing bonus.[/quote] Sure but you work long hours, top out at a very low salary, never work from home and have bad working conditions. Most people will have a 4 events in their life that can cause PTSD, cops average 210. An engineer will be making $250K in 10 years working from home. [/quote] Engineer boosters love to throw out salaries well above the documented norms. Whatever, no big deal. Salaries for DMV law enforcement 10 years after joining the force may fall slightly behind the engineering average(not $250k) but the overtime at $70-90 and hour makes a huge difference. PTSD is a valid concern, but most police are wired differently. Those 4 events for people like engineers are probably more traumatizing than the 210 for police. Working from home is for slackers.[/quote]
