That's actually very valid. I know somebody who works at a crime lab with >100k salary, lives in a cheap area of CA and can retire at 50 with full pension. Pretty sweet gig and if they want more money after retirement they can do some government contracting and consulting which is very well paid.

I think most states publish this information as well, at least for employees making over a certain amount.
