Huge Salary For New York State Troopers, Looking For Applicants
There is a great opportunity out there waiting for you if you are interested in becoming a New York State Trooper. Starting last year, New York State started a big push to hire new recruits that will last through the end of April, and after one year, you can make a nice, comfortable living.
The process to become a New York is fairly seamless as well. When I was 21 I took the New York State troopers test and got the call to take the next step shortly after the test. Ultimately, I was at a crossroads in my career and did not make change careers, but I will tell you there is no way not to have the utmost respect for these guys and girls. It is certainly NOT an easy job or the safest, so hats off to our troopers and their families.
The hiring blitz will go through the end of April as the last test is scheduled on April 30, 2022.
You will need to do some studying, but the test is now all online, so you don't even need to go in person and bring a pencil with you anymore.
Here is how much money you still start making as a New York State Trooper:
- Starting salary: $58,443
- After one year: $82,677
Plus, New York State offers full benefits & retirement packages as well.
