I want a pension!!!

[Jodirocks40]

Hello all! I was thinking about moving back to Chicago, my hometown. I am a new graduate nurse and am unfamiliar with the best hospitals to work. I want to work for a place where I can get a pension, get a large portion of my school paid (im thinking about getting my masters/phd in education) and self schedule. Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated!

Why would you want a pension (someone else controlling the investment of your hard-earned $$) when you could do much, much better by starting a Roth IRA- and have 100% control over your $$ ? (Not to mention having it grow tax-free!)

Just curious.

Never mind, look what pensions have done to both government and private entities.....I'm not looking to feast on the dead carcass of my company or my county/state just to make my old age sorta comfortable.
