[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that good or bad? Seems like a whole lot of nothing. [/quote]

It’s a better package than most engineering majors get fresh out of college. When you factor in overtime it’s not even close.[/quote]

I'm and engineer and my H is a moco cop. I always made significantly more and cops work tons of overtime and still make little to no money.

It's a calling just like teaching. You can't expect to make ends meet on this salary.

Imagine working 60 hours a week to make $100K. Jeez. [/quote]

I'm confused about your post and your grammar.

You are an engineer and your husband is a Montgomery County police officer.

Then you said you always made more, that's past tense. Do you not make more now? Is he no longer your husband?

I agree it's a calling, but your compensation number seems very low. Below is the Montgomery County police pay schedule for last year. How many years has your husband been a police officer?

Montgomery Police work 4 shifts per week, 10 hours per shift. At 60 hours worked per week it would be easy to make over $100,000.

The starting salary in 2025 for a new officer is listed as $70,056. That's $33.68 per hour. The 20 hours of overtime a week you mentioned would be an additional $36,799 per year.

A Montgomery County Police Officer III with 12 years experience makes $103,924 in salary alone based on the 2024 schedule linked above. With 20 hours of overtime a week their total compensation would be $181,867.

NP I think PP was a troll.  Because you make way more than 100,000 as a cop with some years of experience and taking extra shifts.[/quote]

People here have recent graduate children working 60 hours a week to earn a $60,000 salary when they could be making so much more as a law enforcement officer.

White collar jobs are on the chopping block. The majors with the highest unemployment rates for new grads are the ones all the parents here are pushing their kids into. It’s crazy.

That young man or woman that pulls you over is probably making more money than you.[/quote]
