Being a lifeguard in California is dangerous, but it can be incredibly rewarding. How much do Californian beach lifeguards earn? Forbes.
OpenTheBooks.com auditors have found that rescuers in Los Angeles County are making fortunes. Seven rescuers earned more than $ 2019 in 300, and 000 had income in excess of $ 82.

Most highly paid lifeguards are men. In fact, only two of the twenty highest paid lifeguards are women: Virginia Roop ($281), captain, and Christine Linkletter ($000), department supervisor.
Most people think that high salaries are for the rescuers who have shown great heroism. But many of those who received the Medal of Valor for showing courage in saving lives failed to achieve the highest salary results.
2020 Medal of Valor winner Edward "Nick" McCo earned $ 134. His salary ranked 144th out of 167 Los Angeles rescue workers.
Makko jumped into the rough waters of the remote Palos Verdes Gorge and hauled the man to safety through waves that could crush a skull and over razor-sharp rocks. Much of his rescue was videotaped and showcases why he earned a medal.

2019 award winners Sean Gudmundsson received $ 165 and Ruben Carmona $ 761. They "conducted an extremely dangerous night water rescue" for two fishermen who were trapped by the tides and surf caused by the hurricane.
Another hero, John Van Duinwick, earned $ 238. He single-handedly rescued a 434-year-old man who was trapped inside a 70-foot sailboat during a heavy storm surge off Dockweiler Beach. The rescuer risked his life to break into the ship and get the elderly man out.
His colleagues at the pools are paid much less. Why beach lifeguards make so much money is a question that Los Angeles taxpayers may start asking. A lifeguard job can be dangerous, but it's unclear why residents have to pay so much overtime when employees are already costing taxpayers $ 45 billion a year.
