Is law unemployment over exaggerated?

But now you’re changing the terms of the debate. If you’re working in biglaw, then I think there is little dispute that you will be making vastly more money than the average policeman.

I’m not really changing the debate. Attorneys in big law are hardly the “average lawyers” (in terms of entry requirements).<br>

Is that possible? I thought that (some) employers would top up your military pay so that while deployed, such that you would be making the same amount that you would be making if you had stayed at your regular job. But you won’t be receiving both your regular salary and a military salary.

Welcome to government and its excesses. I’ll spare you the details of how we burn through money like it’s monopoly money.

But even if you can indeed double-dip, with state and municipality budgets in the sundered conditions that they are, it’s not clear that police officers who are serving military deployments will continue to be allowed to do so.

The overall deployment cycle has been slowing down on the ARNG and USAR side. You may get some onesies and twosies from GKO volunteers or IMA type of deployments in the USAR though.</p>
