To each their own, of course, but compared to minimum wage or slightly more in retail/pumping gas/whatever, I could see how $53K (to start; before overtime) could be pretty compelling.
Also, FWIW, it looks like Connecticut and New York (my points of reference) do not require a bachelors degree -- only a HS diploma or GED.
- rootusrootus 5y agoYeah, the bachelor's degree requirement used to be really common, but I believe a lot of departments dropped the requirement to increase the number of eligible people. Just checked our local department and it looks like they've dropped the education requirement to an associates degree (and they provide for some equivalents, like military service, to get around that).
