“Any govt job, had a buddy that started with Park and Rec at 21 doing labor, retired at 51 $76,000 per year for life.”
There ya go.
The other option is to get ANOTHER gov job at 51 then pull TWO pensions when your 66.
Lot’s of hacks in MA doing just that.

Not if you are a white male.
Join the military at 18, put in 20 years, qualify for your pension at 38, become a teacher, and have a second pension before 60.
Or just take your military pension and retire to Philippines or Thailand. I imagine there's a bit of an expat community in both places.
