Good points all around, MagicK. I did not know the current pay grade numbers, as the last time I looked was when I was considering and testing for Navy Nuke school. 20-22K is low I admit, even for folks who have some of their living expenses absorbed. Don't they get a salary hike when doing things that are dangerous? Yes, being shot at or put at risk of life or limb is definately not a job perk. But, lots of folks qualify for that. I've got quite a few death cases regarding construction workers of one form or another. Not quite so dangerous as military, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Of course, considering the strength of labor unions in Chicago, those folks get paid more than double the numbers you're mentioning. Hell, telephone men and plumbers get nearly triple.
