With all the cut backs in MA, Is it even worth the young guys to pay $100.00 to take the upcoming civil service exam??? I think what a waste of $$$. Or if enough people pay the $100.00 the state can use this money to keep some cops on the job... I really feel bad for the young guys with dreams of a law enforcement careers in MA. With todays economy I feel truly blessed to have a job. Good Luck to all the Blue, may we all keep our jobs. Godspeed...
