I think what goes unsaid is that most of those people who are chronically unemployed/underemployed have severe physical or mental deficits. But they won't admit that online.

i.e. they're 350 lbs, or clinically depressed, or drug users, or severely socially deficient or something.

A normal reliable person can pretty easily get a decent job in 2024. Might not be 6 figures but $50k should be achievable for most.

You have to deal with getting screamed at by Karen's, homeless crackhead's covered in feces, getting shot at randomly, they don't let you beat the hell out of people with your mag light like they used to and you have to work holidays.

Its not that great by the looks of it.





Maybe if they still let me beat people with a mag light.

Funny you should say that, OP.



I just saw The Rookie appeared on Netflix and started watching it last night. Had me hooked, great show. Up to Ep 6 of Season 1 now. Whilst the premise and show is good, it has seriously deflected me from my mission to complete Star Trek TNG.


Why the need to be under 35, though? The Rookie was in a similar situation and he was like 45.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

I already can carry a taser and gun, don’t want to deal with scum all day and be under scrutiny and get thrown under the jail if I had to take action. No thanks Jeff not in this climate. Maybe if I got a job in some affluent small shore town but that’s like winning the cop lotto.

Lol not all police departments are equal in regards to pay and benefits plus I think sloots and wider society in general have a more negative sentiment toward law enforcement these days.

at the VERY minimum you can join the police force or the us military. after 5 to 8 years you are easily over 100k in pay (if you include housing stipends for the military).

all you need to be is physically fit (anyone can control this if they are motivated), have a clean record (again, anyone can control this), and be willing to work hard.


thats it. no excuse
IDK about the cops but the military screens heavily. Something like 2/3 of young people are not eligible, and that number gets worse as you get older.

50k is what retards and receptionists make.

Note I'm talking about people in their late 20s+ if you're just starting out without a degree it's not that bad.

I've heard with the new MHS Genesis it really is a pain to sign up. They pull every medical record since you were born and want more info about all of it.

Had eczema when you were 4? Need a note from your doctor who treated it or you can't enlist (never mind that doc retired 7 years ago)

Ever been diagnosed with a little anxiety/ADHD? GTFO my office

Since pretty much every person, even the perfectly healthy ones, accumulate 5 surgeries/broken bones/allergies/whatever by the time they turn 18 this leads to massive paperwork backlog and they're having a recruiting crisis right now.

It comes from people frauding VA disability. They sign up for 4 years, have their "first" mental breakdown or their "first" seizure and then get paid $3000/mo for the rest of their life.

I do also agree there are a lot of fat kids though.

no way VA works that easily. My dad had 90% hearing loss from the navy and still only 50% disabled but his hearing loss contributed to severe dimentia (little sensory input/communication for decades). we're trying to get him to 70% disabled so that the govt will actually take care of him. he gets like 900 dollars a month

:"Get to carry a gun". If that is one of your motivations for doing it so everyone a favor and keep your 9-5

I was offered a job by state trooper superintendent/supervisor but I had to wait an additional year for something to get off my record…by that time I moved out of the state

He said just meet your quota…unlimited OT, pension, retirement…great benefits

In my area, they are good but extremely competitive jobs. I actually applied to the state police years ago when I was working crappy jobs and I didn’t even make it past the oral interview process. I have a bachelors degree and absolutely no criminal history. I wasn’t even in the top 500 applicants, almost 4,000 people applied during that round.

I make more money now than most cops do but yea. It’s not like you just walk in and get the job.

The pensions are pretty bad. And most people don’t understand that you can’t receive SS if you work in law enforcement.

I’ll probably stay in another 10 years and either go work for a UC college as campus security (free tuition for kids) or work in fraud investigations for bank.

Yes you can. If you’re paying into it, you can collect.
