Firefighters and teachers get time. That's a priceless commodity.

My uncle is a captain for LA Fire Dept. He works 10 days (24 hr shifts) a month. He makes 120k a year at 47. Started when he was in late 20's or something. He will retire in 5 years and will be making 120k till the day he dies.
Ill take it...
