I came to the realization that my friend who is a cop (sergeant to be fair) is going to retire with more money than me. He's a cop with no college degree and makes 90K a year (you can look up public jobs in my city). I make more than that sure but.......his job security is on a bean. 5 years from now i might be unemployed or settling for jobs paying less or whatever. HIS SALARY IS ONLY GOING TO GO UP. 20 years from now he will still be working, old as shyt, and probably chilling at his desk. Some cops in philly make $200k+ a year (mostly sergeants and detectives who work overtime)
Low key if I could back in time I might have just never went to college and just took a city job where i could eat off seniority and chill making cake for 2-3 decades
