[quote=j]According to KUSI news, in 2006 40% of San Diego City firefighters made $100,000 or more. Plus they got a 6% raise this year, so close to 50% will make $100,000 or more a year now. That is pretty good for a job that does not need a college education and the employer pays for all the training.[/quote]
I heard the San Diego Police Chief on 600 AM one Saturday a few years ago. He said that with special training, swat etc, some police can earn $130k+.
I couldn’t believe they made that much money. Plus I think they retire at 90% of the yearly average of their last 3 years pay.
