if you had to start over...

[ARMYFIREFIGHTER]

ok so my contract is runnign out with the company I am with, and I need to find another Job in the next few months. I am kinda at a cross roads here, I am not sure I want to keep fire fighting, or go back to school for something else. I have my MGIB still that I have to start using by march, so school is a option, I still like firefighting, but I find myself more and more intrested in the medical aspect rather than the Fire aspect of the job.

so put yourself in my shoes, do I go back to school and start over, ingoring my career for the last 12+ years, or do I continue with the fight to get a permnate fire gig somewhere?

Secretly set fires, and guarantee yourself a new contract.

Go to California, there's HUGE fires there.

It's not a big leap to being an EMT-P if you are more interested in the medical side of it.

I'd say go with EMT. I feel like EMT would be a viable career option well into older age. Unless you want to shoot for Fire Chief.

You should write a book about your firefighting experience instead! Call it something like "Firefight The Good Fight: My Life Fighting Fires by ARMYFIREFIGHTER the Firefighter" and then talk about all the fires you've fought while firefighting.

If you are having doubts about your current career, make like botox and inject yourself into an exciting new profession.

I think your mental anguish comes from within. Just think, ask yourself: "Why do I fight these fires? What am I running from?"

[ItalianStereotype]

apparently a lot of male strippers are fire fighters, because "is it hot in here or is it just them?" apparently.

You'll have to get a new user name, for a start.

That's pure genius.
