“Fire chiefs and police chiefs retire at well over $150k to become a city or county manager or asst city county manage to at over $200 k per year salary and more retirement pay after a few years in the new position.”
Everyone of my wifes relatives are firefighters or EMT’s in a larger midwestern city. Literally the whole family.
Her cousin retired at age 53 making $140k in retirement and a year or to later took a arson inspector job in a neighboring city starting at 110k per year. Total BS.
What cracks me up at reunions they all complain about their jobs (low pay) but all their kids all become firefighters.
Sounds like Illinois or Indiana?
