Newport Beach doesn't require much "lifeguarding" anyways.. so some overweight tourist twists her ankle in the surf? If she doesn't keel over, she'll hobble out to safety just fine on her own. Hardly merits that pay hike. |
I thought about you when I read this post.
Glad to hear you chime in on this

Not in Southern California. Police Officers and Firefighters usually make a good living.

It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere.

Quoted from the article.
"It’s a far cry from what lifeguards typically make. One colleague here at CNBC.com said she used to make $9 an hour as a lifeguard, and another said she made NOTHING."

Very true. I have family members in law enforcement here in L.A. and they do pretty well.
