[quote=Anonymous][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]

Ridiculous. Jobs with pensions are great...but how many extra hours is your son working to make an additional $40k? He gets zero pension until he serves 20 years. Unless he's one of those cops who fakes the overtime, he has to be working a shit ton to make another 40k.

$40k = 10 extra hours per week = one shift

Every other 7 day period he’s only scheduled to work 2 days. He gets a long weekend every other week. There’s plenty of time for extra shifts.

Every time he goes to court it’s overtime. Every time he goes to job related training it’s overtime. Attending a conference, yup, overtime. When he teaches classes it’s overtime. $40k is easy.

Oh, and he vests in the pension after 5 years on the job, so this year.
