Starting Salary31,000k starting in New York City, with a test both mental and physical... in 5 and a half years you can get up to 61k. Not bad, but definitely not great for a job in New York city.
Compared to the cost of living, that's awful. I would happily pay more taxes to raise the salaries of sanitation workers.
Partly this is due to the sobering reality that I make more than four times what they start out with, and I don't have to touch other people's garbage.
If only it were easier to voluntarily spread a little wealth around...
Also, I just thought of another reason for high sanitation worker wages: because it is usually funded by the state, I'm sure it's much harder to hire an illegal alien to do the job (and difficult to pay under the table).

Starting Salary for teachers 45,000k for a BS.
Those teachers are the ones milking the system! How dare they!
