Railroad. They were right when I hired on. Like cops, firemen, military. Do your 30 retire well. I was blessed I fell into this/that job.Where you working for Biden?

My wife teaches and she mentioned to a student near the end of last year that the school hires students to help over summer. He said his mother doesn't allow him to get a job cause it will take away from her welfare benefitsMy son is 17 his High School has been trying to hire janitors. After having no luck they decided to ask the students if they were interested. My son applied and got the job. After working 1 week they want him full time. The pay isn’t great but they offer an excellent benefit package.
Typical. Our government rewards failure.My wife teaches and she mentioned to a student near the end of last year that the school hires students to help over summer. He said his mother doesn't allow him to get a job cause it will take away from her welfare benefits
That’s not your government. That’s your neighbor gaming the system. A trick learned equally from both parties btwTypical. Our government rewards failure.
True. But it’s our messed up government that allows it.That’s not your government. That’s your neighbor gaming the system. A trick learned equally from both parties btw
We used to have a guy that would always trade off of prevailing rate jobs for the same reason. Would loose benefits for his kids with the live in girlfriend.My wife teaches and she mentioned to a student near the end of last year that the school hires students to help over summer.

Sand thing is this was essentially "fixed" under Clinton/Gingrich. Only to be undone by the turds who followed.True. But it’s our messed up government that allows it.
I am very much the same. I don't need 2nd interviews. I don't need to write down answers unless they have unique skill that I can utilize to offer additional services to client. Although "Are you a fit for my team?' is the first question I get answered, because if that is "no" the interview is over. When I was younger I hired some very smart, capable people who were not a fit for the team, the culture or my management style. Their tenures all ended with them sitting in front of my desk. Waste of time and resources.Ridiculous
My HR is now requiring me to "take notes" and write down answers to questions so they have it for "their file"; my questions the ones we wrote for our interviews. So we will be so focused on writing down answers and less focused on listening and asking good follow up questions.
I am a HIRE or NO HIRE interviewer: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guide-to-interviewing-version-30/
I just went thru 4 rounds of interviews for 3 finals candidates, and said "NO HIRE" for all of them after the last interview. It sucks, because I have to keep looking and doing interviews, but it's easier to hire the right person versus fire the wrong.
- Are you smart?
- Can you get work done?
- Are you a fit for my team?
Have her take the Police department tests. Local, state and federal. As many as she can. Recession proof.
Pension and benefits for life. They are hiring females especially.
True, even the railroads changed a few years ago, maybe 10 years from the pension to a matched 401k. I was hired way back under the original pension system (and a 401k) and was able to retire getting the same monthly income as when I was working. But those days and benefits are going away.I don't think most departments offer quite as rich a benefits package as they used to. At least in Michigan I think most, if not all, have done away with pensions in favor of 401k's, even at the state level.
Worth every penny in NYPDI don't think most departments offer quite as rich a benefits package as they used to. At least in Michigan I think most, if not all, have done away with pensions in favor of 401k's, even at the state level.
And if the OP's daughter is looking for $90k this would be a non-starter for police work I'd imagine.
State Police should make more but I was a bit shocked at the starting rate for NYPD:

yeah my step-son is a cpl detective and with OT only makes about $80,000 and his pension sucks. No 401 offered and they get 50% of their base salary upon retirement. I worked in law enforcement for awhile also and at this point would never recommend anyone getting into it. My step-son is looking to get out ASAP as he knows he will have a tough time retiring on that pension. They are also not eligible to collect social security upon retirement for some reason so he would be stuck at about $40,000/year for the rest of his life.Have her take the Police department tests.

Most dpats around here start out at about $35,000-40,000 IF you can even get full time
Yeah I think you are right they don't pay in. But to live off of $40,000 with no 401 or no SS. Dunno. Doesn't seem great to me. Of course he could fund his own IRA or whatever but how many actually do that?Sheesh, 50% guaranteed doesn't sound that terrible in the grand scheme.
They don't get social security for the years as an LEO because they aren't paying into it. It's a pretty straight forward benefit...you gotta pay in to get out
