City jobs are some of the best around. Not only do they get paid very well, they can retire after 20 years with full benefits.
Firefighters have the best deal of all. Work typically consists of hanging out at the firehouse, maybe take the truck out and go for a run along the bay. Watch TV, cook some food. Three days a week. Once in a while there is actually a fire. Wow.
“Add on” bonuses bump the salary for a variety of skills, needed for the job or not. Speak spanish? Extra $3 per hour. Know CPR? Extra $2 per hour.
Most politicans are afraid to mention this crap because the city employee unions are such a powerful voting block.
