The Discrepancy Between Officer and NCO Pay
Abstract
They say that a college degree will help you get a better paying job. How true is this? For a young American entering the Army as an officer, it is evident right away that a college degree has paid off. However, a First Lieutenant with less than two years of service makes more than a Staff Sergeant with four years of service and the Staff Sergeant is tasked with training that young Lieutenant on his duties and responsibilities. That same Staff Sergeant may have a bachelors degree or higher but they still get paid less than that lLT. Every senior officer will tell you that it was an NCO that taught, coached and mentored them as a young lieutenant.
