[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC is considered “underemployed” in law enforcement because the position doesn’t require a degree to start. Five years after earning their B.S. they earn a $102k salary and $40k+ in overtime. They get a raise every year, and sometimes two raises.

That’s better than earnings of Chemical Engineering majors at 35-45 year olds, the #1 major, BTW. Our child could retire with a full pension at 46. LOL.

Our child will make sergeant soon. That comes with a nice raise. By 35 they’ll be a lieutenant. That’s a big salary bump. That’s when 1.5x overtime rates really start to pay out.[/quote]

Ok, but maybe you don’t want to work so much overtime? Maybe you have other things going on in your life such that you’d like to be minimally at work (ie, not working overtime) yet making great money?

I work with a few 30-something surgeons who work 3 days a week, rarely on call. Maybe 36 hours? And they pull in $600k. Oh and they love their work. LOVE.

I wish I had a kid who was marginally interested in this line of work[/quote]
