the military and civil servants(police, fire) in the states have good pensions.
only thing is after 20 years its only 50%, usually have to do more to get close to 75-80

my brother-in-law is set. hes colonel of massachusetts state police, #1 guy. i would guess he makes about 150k usd/yr. he has 25 years in, he can retire at 80% of that with full medical. also being in the position hes in, he will probably make double that in the private sector while collecting that huge pension.
