Ok Folks,

Which is better. To make 7 to 8 bucks an hour in a place where

you can rent a house for $350.00 to

$450.00 a month or make 24 to 30 bucks an hour where a one or two

bedroom apartments go for $1000.00 plus.

Houses at $1500.00 to $2000.00 with first and last months rent plus

security deposit just to get in the door.

What's the old saying, " The Grass is Always Greener on The Other Side of

the Fence " .

One thing I have noted in reading posts on this subject. Some

folks are asking, " what is your pay scale? " . Several have answered,

Many have answered, " sorry it took so long for me to answer, but I had to

search around for a pay scale. " Now then, do we really love our job or

not? WE MUST, if we have to look for a pay scale to find out how much

we are getting paid. {:-)

That's a fact.

Another thing I've noticed... many people add " with lots of overtime. "

That's fine, I used to work all of it they would give me.

However, we should be earning enough where we didn't have

to depend on overtime. And we should be staffed adequately so

it would be unnecessary most of the time.

My department is very strict with overtime for the road units. They

can not have " scheduled " overtime. Say all of the troops are off

in one county... they cannot pay overtime for someone to come

out and work the county... So it goes without coverage.

What they don't understand is that radio does not have that

luxury... someone has to be sitting in the chair!

GIVE ME MORE PEOPLE !!!

OMG!!!! Houses for $350 0r $450 a month!!!???? Vern, Like you we're here in

Jersey. We couldn't get a large cardboard box in Somerset County for that

amount!! Try upwards of $2,000 a month to rent a 3 or 4 bedroom house.

But I know what you mean...we do it because we love the job and because we're

good at it.
