What am I doing with my life?
Like many people looking for employment at the moment, I have been doing my fair share of soul searching. Inevitably, this means dusting off long neglected questions such as: What am I passionate about? Helping people. What makes me happy? Helping people. And fire. What did I always say I wanted to be when I grew up? An evil genius? No, after that. A fireman. Yes, that’s right. I can no longer deny what should have been evident all along. I was made to be a fireman.
I have to be honest. The high element of danger alone would make it worth it. But that’s just gravy. You get to wear cool, reflective clothing. You’re honored every year at the 4th of July parade. And if Farenheit 451 is any indication of what the future holds, one day we’ll get to preside over massive book burnings. In South Pasadena, the average salary for a firefighter is $62,000. Nice chunk of change, huh? Well, I’ve got some applications to go fill out. If you’re interested in becoming a fireman also, I will leave you with some links to investigate.
It’s about to get hot up in here. Stay tuned for regular updates as I blog my way through the training program. (I can promise you, my writing will be on fire!)
