Some of those people do make a pretty good salary in California though. For example in Oakland, the Fire Department Captain makes $472k/year. https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/2018/oakland/

Police jobs have some risks but there are a few engineering jobs there which are not too bad. And the guaranteed pension is the icing on top.
