[quote=Anonymous][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]

DC doesn’t want a job where they might get shot.[/quote]

Is there a profession where someone hasn’t been shot, stabbed or violently attacked at work? At least our child has a bulletproof vest, several guns, training, and armed backup.

You’re more likely to get seriously injured on the way to and from work than a police officer is to get shot on the job.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous!  Law enforcement is a field where you daily put yourself at high risk.  Most engineers are NOT daily at risk.  If you think otherwise, you are quite something

kudos for your kid pursuing being a police officer---we need them.  But their high pay is quite frankly because of the risks they are under daily.
