Trying to remember off the top of my head as I checked this out once.  The pay for Congress in 1789 was around $6.00 per day while in session and that's without many benefits they have now.  Today Congress is in session around 130-190 days a year, inflation adjusted $6.00 would be about a $158 today, on the top side 190 days x $158 = $30,000.  Even if they were paid for a full year at $158 it's still only $57,000.

I'll admit that it would make me feel better too.  Other than that, it really accomplishes nothing. 

I also bet the 100k comment was referring to the OT as well which isn't always calculated in the standard salary figures.

 

This statement is true as far as Chicago police. I have numerous CPD in my family and there is a ton of overtime because the force is understaffed. It's cheaper for the city to pay the OT than hire new officers

You could always get a cover up that says TATTOOS ARE PERMANENT  I've got them on my upper arms, legs, chest, back, and lower lip. None which are visible with jeans and a t-shirt. Rather than being a Trooper, what about a beat cop? Probably won't need to remove them.

I could go county or town sheriff or even corrections officer and keep them. The counties and towns are so small out here we only have like seriously 5 sheriffs for the county and most towns don have there own force. It's extremely hard to get into our county is all young new guys out Of the academy so have to wait for one to leave or retire and who knows when that is.

couldnt you just wear long sleeves while you are working? i did it when i did lawn maint. long sleeves and long pants everyday in south florida lol...it actually keeps you cooler in the sun because it stops the sun from heating up the blood as fast...maybe they could do that option for you?

 

or you maybe could go into private security..if i was hiring for security i would want someone with tattoos and all and a mean looking dude that looks like he will shoot you in the face for even looking his way lol (not saying you are a mean looking dude or anything lol)

Lol no can't wear long sleeves or even the skin toned cover sleeves they must be removed. It's all gonna come down to the test and where I stand against everyone else in the state if its looking good and I'm gonna get hired on they get removed, if I'm low and not very likely then well maybe ill take the corrections test or try a local agency

well good luck either way

Look on the bright side. Least you ain't having to close holes in your ears up. My buddy had 4/0 guages in his ears. They told him he had to have them closed up before he could join. He had it done. Took him awhile and he said it hurt like all hell.

I don't think it's any different than a required dress code for types of employment.
