The same is true of most professions actually.
Firefighters hit $100k after 5 years:

Police officers attain above $100k, after a single promotion, which occurs between 5-10 years:

You'll see similar salaries with just about any city jobs, that 's just kind of the going rate for any kind of city job that requires special education or involves a safety hazard:

So you just picked 3 Unionized Public service jobs and called it a day there?
Even if they dont start at 18 they're still only working for 25 years for their full-ride.
I'm sorry, I must be missing your point here.
Yes. Unionized Government jobs are pretty sweet because the compensation comes quickly although eventually stagnates albeit at a relatively high level, the benefits are first rate and the pensions are out of this world and they can retire far, far sooner than the average person.
Yeah....sounds like hell.
