I'll ask but I don't think it will be great. Unionized Security in Montreal make $12.50/hour plus 30 cents if they are part of a fire brigade & another 30 cents if they do first aid. This means that people working in my hotels should be making over $13.00/hour if they were unionized. They're not but they do make just over this amount AFTER one year. For the first year it's below $12.00. For one of the hotels at the airport we only pay $10.00/hour :(

There is no privatized corrections in NY. Why does it have to be private? The NYCDOC and NYSDOCS are both outstanding organizations, you'll be making over 40K your first year without overtime with NYSDOCS. Plus the benefits are great and there's a 25-year retirement.

Also, you told me before in another thread that you were a cop for 4 years before going on on disability. Were you a cop somewhere else, because NYC Special Patrolmen aren't police officers. You should just try to get on with NYPD. They're hiring in record numbers right now, all you need is to be in shape and have a 2-year degree - no big deal.

I'd be down there working right now if I could afford to live on their starting salary. You can't even live on that up here!

$13CDN = $11.60USD (as of today). Not too shabby.

I'm surprised they even require that. :confused:

Never to late....but admittedly harder when you have a family to support, think about maybe checking out online courses.

College is not an automatic ticket to a good job. There are many graduates who are saddled with 4 years of debt and a job that can be handled with a HS diploma supplemented by some community college courses. In many cases, LE doesn't require an undergraduate degree to be an officer. Moving up to Sergeant or Lieutenant may, but you can cross that bridge if and when you need to. The department may even pay for your tuition.

I'm telling you, test for NYSDOCS. They don't have an age cap that I know about.

It really would be a great job for someone in your situation.

Right, but what are you going to do when you want to get on a department that requires a degree to be hired? You can explain until you're blue in the face that it's not necessary, but your gripe will fall on deaf ears.

Granted. Nevertheless, there are many working in security or LE who are content with the range of opportunity available w/o a degree. Again, it's not uncommon for a department to offset the expense of higher education should one have a change of heart about qualifying for a position later on that does require a degree.
