    You can become a cop for $0 in a relatively short amount of time, a librarian needs a masters degree, school nurse is either an associates degree or bachelor’s, the only one that’s relatively easy to become on that list is EMT but it’s still a damn sight harder than becoming a cop. I like what they are saying but there won’t be a shift until higher education is free.

        That would be nice, it still blows me away that ignorance of the law is not a legal defense but cops can just make shit up as they go and not be held accountable when they are wrong.

        When a person needs a bachelor’s degree to be an administrator or a librarian, but a high school diploma and some vocational education is enough to be given a gun, a badge and the authority that implies, I start to think something might be wrong with the system, not just the people lining up to join it.

      Yes but being an EMT pays between $10 and $15 per hour and often does not even include benefits. God bless every EMT on the road because not a single one is doing it for the money.
