Also, if I can make a suggestion, pick the MBTA as your first choice for hiring. There are strng rumors that they will be merged with the state police at some point and they will then get all of their benefits/pay without their going through their academy.

 

Coming in early at 8 lol.

I am in at 7 and the last one from my software team. Even the guy who rides his bike in gets there by 6:30

 

8-7 is nuff for me, thx very much. It's not how early but how long.

If I was back in AZ as Loan Officer making same $ that i did back in the day and actually enjoying what I did.......... I wouldn't mind a bit.

Oh and sireousrex Thx for the link will jump on it asap after I lift.

 

Oh BTW You guys.... Before I take the test... What can I expect from the State salary wise as a Police Officer?

I know I was nearing six digits in AZ. I am in mid 30z base now ....

 

I usually pull in just under 100k but I BUST MY ASS doing overtime and details. If you want to just work regular shifts, expect to make about 50-60 after a few years on the job. You'll make about 40-50 the first year. There are guys who really kick it in and make well over 6 figures anually. If you get on, don;t waste any time and get a degree in Crim. justice. An AA is worth a 10% raise, a BA 20% and a masters is 25%. That is factored into your base salary so it bumps your overtime and retirement too!!

Remember that the pension and health care is top notch as well.

 

Oh yeah, that's what we need. MBTA cops becoming staties just because. They are a bunch of losers who couldn't make it as a small town cop. It's like when they combined the Registry cops with the Staties. They were wannabees. DUH.

 

Jeff you could do more powdah coatin bro.... and its safer!!! Dont know what ziggy would do though

 

Nah, I really really like my job. I get to help people doing it. It isn;t authoring bills and raising taxes or anyhting, but it;s something

 

you should try a $hitty job like mine, i work in the summer six days a week 9am-10pm making pizzas, during these hours i'm always on my feet and you're complaining about sitting down! , once you try it then you'll apperciate your job

 

LOL.... Good luck buddy.

Edit: Oh and just to make u feel better. Been there, done that.
