Wow man... sounds like fun. I was thinking of taking the test to become a state trooper. Can you offer any advise or suggestions? I still have about 8 months until I'm 21, and thus able to take the test.
Get shot at for $40,000 a year, that doesn't sound like fun. But I respect those brave enough to do it.
The current starting salary for a trooper is $53,576.46 (including uniform allowance). The second-year total compensation jumps to $59,968.94. Top pay for a Trooper I is $93,450.23. Troopers receive yearly increments. All recruits receive $777.78 every two weeks, plus overtime pay. Room and board are also provided while training.
