When I first started I was paid so little that we qualified for government assistance. So I did what everybody did and took a second job. It took a job and a half to survive, two jobs to make any headway at living.
Not for or against a college degree requirement. But men aren't gonna get a degree for a job that pays poverty level wages. And not all communities can afford to pay a lot.
Which is why it needs to be up to local communities to figure out what'll work for them. Yep, police aren't paid well at all: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...nce-victims-list-grows-article-1.2000120http://www.okc.gov/okcpd/recruiting/index.htmlhttp://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/40/4055000.html
"My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we'll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it." - Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn
