Quickest way to get a lifetime pension (city bus driver)

[Scott Larock]

Pay seems trash but anyone knows any city bus drivers? Any beef went down?

I heard it's a 2 shift system, wake up and 530 and work till 10:00 then go home and come back at 3:30 and work till 6 or 7 pm.

Any time I try to spit knowledge on how good city, state, county jobs are on here I get shot down as anti education, “loser mentality”.

It’s better to have a amazon hustle or tech grind that doesn’t guarantee you lifetime stability/comfort

meanwhile cacs been eating off them jobs for generations literally. They get they whole family in those positions and be set for life.

When you shyt on higher ed anytime you get, it is.

Most black people aren't even in college, so your shyt posts about college don't even be accurate

Everything isn't for everyone

My dad's boy was a bus driver and he retired at 55 with a nice pension. The pay wasn't bad either for what he was doing, he was making in the 50's.

False. People come at you for shytting on higher education and comments like the bolded. It might not be the right option for you which is fine but that doesn't mean it's a bad option for everyone.

I just know too many people who got degrees, certs doing worse than I’m doing with a hs diploma. That’s all

my moms still paying off loans from before I was born

Depends on the city. Chicago is second highest paid transit system for bus drivers. But everywhere you could drive isn't necessarily worth driving there. Location of your terminal probably more important, but some people will deal with more fukkery to have a shorter commute.

My dad is a mechanic for Miami-Dade Transit (fixes buses)

They put a cap on overtime because a bus driver went to the doctor for heart problems/stress, the bus driver did a lot of overtime & the doctor found out the driver made more money than him, got salty and reported it

My dad made $127K in 2017 before taxes & works overtime on Friday & Saturday. He been there since 2000. County/government jobs are a huge lick

I drive for a paratransit division of one of the big bus companies in our city called Pace. And they been hounding me for the longest to become a regular city bus driver. The pay and benefits is good, but them hours as a rookie is straight hell on earth. You literally working every single hour everyone hates.

You love sleep? You can sleep during the day nikka, you night shift.

You love your family for the holidays? Send them a card cause you ain't seeing them breh

Got an emergency? Ain't more important than important daily transportation, get your ass to work.

You from Chicago right? If Cook County is like Miami-Dade, the county website should have a database of jobs. I have an interview coming up for a real estate evaluator job, if I get it I'm gonna be making $50k at 21 years old lol.

I feel like a lot of nikkas don't know about govt jobs or dudes got records & can't get one

Getting a job through Crook County is difficult. You basically have to know someone.

jobs are suppose to temporary, you suppose to work everyday and stack so you can use that money to make moves to create passive income so you don't have to work in the future

City/govt jobs are great but hard as hell to get. Especially while being in your 20s.
