Never expected to make a six-figure salary, but paying off college loans and living a comfortable life is a top priority. I'm not sure if law enforcement would garner that result. Help, please!

It depends what municipality it is . New York and California pay very well. Smaller cities/ towns not so much

Lots departments on the front range and Denver metro area in Colorado will pay around $100k within your first 5 years.

It really depends on what state you are in. It is possible in other places like NYC. You just have to choose the right one.

Generally, no. Unless you are a high-ranking official in a HCOL city.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash.

Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
