Recently there was a story in one of the Boston papers about a retired *bus driver* for the MBTA (our regional public transit system) who was getting a *pension* of just under $100K/yr.

His name is Ghengis Khan (it's true...with God as my Judge!)

I have a long time friend who retired from the Illinois Highway (tollbooth operator) with a 90k+ pension 15 years ago.

He always razzed me telling me I should have gotten a job there. I’m 69, and I pretty much cannot afford to retire even with my 2 pensions (pipe-fitters and plumbers).

He now drives a school bus for a few hundred a week, just enough to keep busy and not enough to spoil his pensions, BUT he says he will get another pension from the school bus union in 5 years (maybe 4 now) and THEN he’ll retire.

Sometimes I kick myself.

A retired bus driver is making just under 100K a year...Good old MBTA...(great system) love going to Boston on it....Now if MBTA does what it is thinking of...You can use commuter rail from DC to Boston soon...

People used to be paid not to farm. Now they’re paid not to drive a bus.
