A coworker asked me what I thought about firefighting as a career option. I hadn't given it much thought, so I looked into it. To really be guaranteed to get the post you need emt and paramedic training. then it is a hands on, all consuming job for 48hrs that may include jumping off of a bridge to save rafters (above), free for four days. At the end of it all, you get pension when you retire. I know that standing at a desk is certainly not for me, so it doesn't sound bad. I'll definitely be getting emt while I complete my engineering degree, and who knows? Maybe I can do both engineering and fire fighting? Sounds fun to me!
