Suffolk County, Long Island is the highest paid. |

Debatable. It's gone back and forth between the two counties over the past decade. I'll take your word that Suffolk has a current better salary. I'd just prefer to live in Nassau since it's right next to Queens and the rest fo the city. |

I'd rather be an officer, in Suffolk COunty. I've lived there practically all my life, and I know how harsh the towns of Nassau County can be. |

That's precisely it. I've been attending Stony Brook University for 3 years AND I have a summer house towards the end of the island... but I seriously can not stand those areas since there's nothing to do there.
Plus, I was a volunteer firefighter for a few years and I've heard some really fun stories from the cops in Nassau. Great stuff.
:haha: @ jdat... I can't believe they used that image. |

Hamptons? Sweet! Also, interesting to know there's a resident Long Islander here. :cool:

True, but it's very peaceful. I plan on moving back to my hometown (LI, NY), after my lease is up over here. |

I think that is just equivalent to the cost of living. That would be like making 30k out in the middle of nowhere nebraska. Yes it sounds like a lot... but when it boils down living, it isnt all that much for living in long island. |

Let's not forget that half of the force lives in Brooklyn/Queens. Otherwise, what you say makes perfect sense. But still, it's fairly comfortable living. |

Oh wow, yeah - nothing to do, out there. However, the vineyards are nice - that's about it. |

Fruit picking is always fun... Heh.
I love Splish Splash and Tanger Outlet Mall. That's probably the extent of it. |
