I've thought about being a cop, they work 4 days on, 3 off, plus the occasional overtime. Here in SD they start around $45K, and with overtime and various skills pay can reach $60K first year. Once you mature in the career you're making $90K or so, then you have the excellent retirement plan of 3% per year of your highest salary for every year you've worked (33 years = 99% of highest salary). One of the cart guys at the golf course I work at is making $170K a year in retirement, he was a higher-level sheriff.
That's all fine and good until you get shot.
