Just a little perspective, the 2 people at the top of the list (do search all) are football coaches making $2 million plus each year.

I wouldn't trade jobs with a CHP officer either but I do have to wonder about the skill level. I'm sure it's harder than I think but the job still boils down to parking on the side of the freeway, spotting violators, chasing them for about a minute and then writing them a ticket.
