BART employees paid more (or equal to) nurses?!?!?!

Published

Wait, this can't be right.

I just found out that a BART employee makes an average of 80K with benefits galore (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2013/07/are-bart-workers-taking-us-for-a-ride.html). Even a station agent or a train operator can make a base of 60k with up to 10k-20k overtime pay. That can't be right at all, is it? The amount of responsibilies have to be different. I could think of so many careers that should be paid more. Their salaries are comparable to most nurses in the entire country.

Any thoughts?

Comparing what nurses make around the country with what BART makes in SF is a moot point. Nurses are not making 60-80K per year in the major hospitals and systems in the SF Area. And cost of living in SF is astronomical compared to the majority of the United States.
