FL DOT

Hello, I'm thinking about going through the FL DOT hiring process, I was invited to tryout next month for a PAT test. But I was wondering I have a masters degree and is there any way I can make higher than 31 -34k with a masters degree? Any more information about the DOT will help. Thanks and God Bless.

Negative on the higher pay for the Masters degree.

You will be paid for the Bachelors, zero for the masters.

Kind of made it worth the effort didn't it? :lol:

Okay :) Thanks for the answer. Do you know how much extra you get paid for a bachelors degree, like is there a set salary or set amount of money your paid extra for the starting salary, Thanks and God Bless.

bachelor's degree gets $80 a month I believe. The total one can get from the trust funded additions between education and advanced training I believe is $130.

You have a Masters Degree an you wanna weigh trucks? I gotta ask...Whats this degree in?

i know its not worth it, but actually the combination of your b.a. will get you 120 a month. one 40 block of approved training will get you to the 130 max. thats why i never went for my masters. you pay roughly 12,000 dollars for it and you get no extra pay and it wont get you promoted. actually in my experience it will hinder you. this agency promotes a high rate of people w/out much if any higher education. they dont want thinkers supervising, they want yes men.

sorry, i meant to say in the last post that the combination of your assoc. and bach. will get you 120 a month.

i believe it will only get you 80.00.

I dont believe I know, I do know since I get the money. For a B.A. alone its 80. If you have a combination of an Assoc. and a Bachelors it is worth 120 a month.

well excuse me for not going to some crappy c.c. first.

Its just to show you how much your college degree isn't worth nothing. You paid all these money to college,and hoping to get paid good. The state of Florida don't give too crap if you have a high school diploma or a college degree to get hire. Its sad to say but real winner are those guys that got hired with just a high school diploma. Atleast they don't have repay all those school loan back.

THE STATE AGENCY THAT GOT SHAFTED THE MOST.IS DJJ (DERT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE).MOST PEOPLE THINK WE ARE JUST A DAYCARE CENTER FOR FLORIDA'S CHILDREN.THE TRUTH BE TOLD.WE ARE ACTULLY CERTIFIED STATE OFFICERS.WHO ARE ALSO GETTING THE shizzat END OF THE STICK.
MOST OFFICERS WHO COME IN FROM OTHER AGENCIES,AND SPEND SOMETIME IN SOME OF OUR FACILITIES ALWAYS SAY I COULDN'T DO IT.WE DEAL WITH RAPEST ,MURDERER,sex OFFENDER'S,DRUG DEALER'S AND ALL OF THE REST OF THE SCUM FROM THE STREET.CRIME IN THE STATE IS UP.WE HAD A 10 YR OLD IN MY JAIL WHO STABBED HIS MOTHER.THEY WILL PUT HIM IN A PROGRAM FOR MAYBE A YEAR OR 2.THAN HE WILL BE BACK ON THER STREETS AGAIN.THE NEXT TIME HE MIGHT KILL SOMEONE.
75%OF THE JUVENILES I COME IN CONTACT WITH ARE HARDIN CRIMINALS JUST WAITING TO BE DIRECT FILED TO THE ADULT SYSTEM.
MORE OFFICER'S GET HURT IN DJJ THAN ANY OTHER AGENCY INTHE STATE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THREAD ,BUT I HAD A BAD DAY AT THE JAIL AN OFFICER GOT STABBED 3 TIMES IN THE HEAD BY A JUVENLIE.HE IS 16 YRS OLD 6"2 240 LBS.BUT HIS JUST A KID.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BLOW OFF STEAM.
ALWAYS BE SAFE.
