The move is towards older applicants with plenty of life experience who can, or at least, have experience resolving conflict.
As you like to use anecdoctal stories, so do I. I know 2 guys that go to work downtown in some financial firm. One got there because his dad pulled some strings the other has a few years in some arts program in university and got there because he was recognized as having a knack for investments decisions. See what I did there?
You mention pensions. Do you have any idea what a cop pays into their pensions every month? More then some mortgages.
You don't seem to set on seeing the other side of the equation. Compensation is not solely based on education.
