a police officer with 5 years experience typically makes over 200k total comp between salary, overtime and retirement benefits. Some make as high as $600k+ a year. Feel free to look up the public records if you don't believe me. It's a much better paying job on average than being a software engineer Edit: and I'm not saying whether it should or shouldn't be a better paying job than a SE, just noting the facts. Many are unaware. Sometimes I see guilt threads from engineers who make 150k. They are really behind the times in this area.
