What is the median wage in California? a $400,000 dollar house in the midwest is a mansion compared to a $400,000 dollar house in California or east coast.
Base salaries for Newport Beach lifeguards range from $58,000 for the lowest-paid officer to $108,492 for the top-paid battalion chief, according to a 2010 city report on lifeguard pay. Adding in overtime, special compensation, pension, medical benefits, life insurance and other pay, two battalion chiefs cleared more than $200,000 in 2010, while the lowest-paid officer made more than $98,000.
LMAO this is absolutely insane spending. Short California muni bonds up the ying yang.
"All lifeguards received $400 sunglass allowances" wtf?
Try 20k base, 40k for the top job, that's more realistic. You would still have every 18-25 year old Phelps wannabe falling over themselves to do the job.
WTF is up with the USA's insane socialist public sector pay? You guys are becoming more like the USSR with every passing year.
Better yet, get a good laptop and wi-fi setup and trade WHILE working as a Lifeguard. Watch the babes while waiting on your next trade setup. Just be sure and use stops in case you actually have to go save someone.
