According to AOL and careerbuilder.com:
"The typical salary for a mid-career Prison Guard is $60, 880, 3% higher than the typical salary of $58, 876 for a mid-career College Professor. Prison Guards in California enjoy an annual salary of $73, 428 with only a high school education, and with overtime they can surpass the income of California judges, police, and even the state attorney."
Such inequities and imbalances in salary structures in the United States reflect misplaced national priorities, indicate skewed personal aspirations, and place this country, perhaps unexpectedly, perhaps unwittingly at a distinct disadvantage in global competitiveness.
