I make $15.06 an hour. The only reason I stay is the work schedule, retirement, a few of the benefits and the fact that they allow me to bank exchange summer overtime hours for time and a half In PTO during trapping season.

IDK maybe if you compare just an hourly wage but total compensation seems to keep people from quiting https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/...out-pa-state-government-top-earners.html Last edited by AntiGov; 07/14/22 09:42 PM.

Like I said, the benefits are what keeps me there. Last edited by Bob; 07/14/22 11:08 PM. "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

Nelly trapper N Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 1,071 South Central Wisconsin	Originally Posted by Lugnut My wife does. She's a nurse at a state-run loony-bin. They are severely understaffed and the state keeps sending them violent criminals that should be locked up. Staff is assaulted on a fairly regular basis and they are not allowed to fight back. They are supposed to use their Mandt training to restrain the individuals until enough staff arrives to safely deal with it. Yeah, she works. If you are a sworn officer, there will be charges for assaulting an officer. If you're not, you are expected to suck it up and drive on. I'm glad that I don't know first hand, but my brother was not so lucky. I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

People don't seem to realize that nearly every lowlife that winds up a lifer or on death row was first locked up in the county jail. I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.
