To give just one example...a few years ago it was revealed that a bus driver for the MBTA (Greater Boston's public transit system) retired...in his 50s...with a pension of $97,000 a year. A BUS DRIVER! I worked in academic medicine for decades and I know physicians and surgeons who don't have a pension that big!
I know Purple Heart 0-6s with 4 combat tours who don't have a pension as high as that bus driver.

been a nurse in non profit hospitals for about 40 plus yrs....nurses generally do not get defined pensions....we get a little bit each year added to our own 401's and whatever we invest in, that's it...up/down its yours....
if I had to do it all over again, I would have gotten into a nice govt job....
but somebody's got to do the real work in this country....
