Eons ago when I was in undergrad, police came on campus to hold recruitment drives. Had I knew about this golden pension back then, I would have applied there fresh out of ugrad.

Imagine being hired at 22, then work for 23 years, and then I can retire with a nice pension package at 45 to pursue whatever else I want... Damn, was I ever stupid to not consider that...
Yeah, I know of someone like that. He's retired from RCMP after 25 years of service or something. Gets full pension and has another job now too so he's got like 2 salaries now but 1 job.
