[QUOTE who="CLS48 in California"]A police officer in CA starts at around 60K. I doubt a few years on the force gets them 100K+. Second, the cost of living in CA is not as high as people think. You can get a 1 bed apt for $800 to $1300 a month depending on location. Prices of houses have gone down to the point where they have 100K houses in many places and in places like orange county, there are 3 bed houses for 300K.
So when people out of the state constantly bring up the "high" cost of living in CA, I laugh because it's really not that bad.
A CLS supervisor here makes 70K to 80K. CLSs here really do get paid as much as we should. Getting paid $17 an hour as a CLS is insulting. You people should demand more pay and form unions. Instead of sitting here complaining about how low you all are paid, do something about it. I make 80K with my full time and per diem job (working 4 days extra in a month) on a day shift mind you without a shift differential. I know many CLSs who make over 100K here who just work more hours on their per diem or part time jobs.
I suppose I should complain that my pay isn't as good as that entry level CLS in San Jose who makes $40 an hour. Nah, I may is just right for now...[/QUOTE]
CLS48, I really like to hear more about the nature of the job as far as CLS is concerned. Is the job as stressful as people describe it. Is it fun being a CLS. And how long have you worked as a CLS and finally would you recommend this line of work?
