    Re: Career Change -- fireman

    The cool thing about the 24 on and 48 off is you can still have plenty of time to do your painting, have a social life, train, even do some freelance graphic design. It's really the perfect job for a single guy in my opinion.
    I used to have superhuman powers....until my therapist took them away.

      Re: Career Change -- fireman

      I am researching options to get the training done. it doesnt appear there is a training center in my immediate area... therefor, if i really want to do this, i would need to quit my job and go for it full time.

      I am going to keep researching as well as thinking on it.

      I already applied to the VA fire school.. but i live down in florida and dont have available leave from work to go up and take the two preliminary tests. one in sept and one in oct.... i will work on it, but not sure i will be able to make it happen.

        I'm a firefighter in a small department - the only female on the team. - but currently inactive. It's hard work, low pay, but very fulfilling.

            Go for it but practice your oral boards with www.eatstress.com and buy the book "Smoke your Firefighter Interview" It worked for me! The oral board is the only hard part!
