Firefighters with paramedic certifications make well over 100k in most US metros without a college degree. That said, the training pipeline is physically and intellectually demanding but can be done right out of high school within 3 years with far less cost than a college degree. The lifestyle is also hard, but you get extremely good benefits as well as first responder discounts to a ton of businesses.

I say 100k, but it's closer to 200k with 7-10 years of experience. Incredibly dangerous and therefore one of the best uses of tax dollars, but name another job where you can make that much at 30y/o without a degree with purely shift-based work.

Not just that! In fact, firefighters don't run as often into fires as people think, thanks to fire alarms and better fire prevention measures.
In most places these days, professional firefighters are as much paramedics as firefighters, which makes the job even more demanding.

u/ammonthenephite 4h ago
Like nursing and other jobs, some places pay really well, others don't pay for shit. Back when I did firefighting seattle started at 90k a year, while smaller cities in Idaho that came to try and recruit us out of fire school were only offering 12 dollars an hour. It's insane how much it can vary.
1
u/Fidel_Cashflows 3h ago
I mean, yeah. Small cities in Idaho have maybe 1-2 calls a shift at the worst. You're just getting paid to sit on standby most of the time and the salary reflects that. I got my EMT license within a month during a summer while doing my pre-med degree in Atlanta and immediately got offered $30/hr for part-time night shifts. Those shifts were intense, but that hourly pay with a 1 month pipeline and 4k tuition was a fantastic return on value.

Dick sucking has made me paranoid
I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but itās backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.
I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised. Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will need to move if my identity is blown. Itās a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.

Civil service job and not looked down upon, the way police are.

Nowhere near as dangerous either. Go dealing with fires vs dealing with a criminal breaking the law.
Not sure id say it's as much "old boys club" as it is for people when they are done with military service. Got a family member who applied before. Aced it and still would up 50+ on the list, due to bonus factors like military service, EMT certification or being a minority.
Since 9/11 they've basically prioritized service members.

u/ThreeSticks_ 5h ago
Itās quite literally not urging minorities to become firefighters. Itās doing the opposite - urging fire departments to seek more diversity. Read the shi: https://hbr.org/2018/12/making-u-s-fire-departments-more-diverse-and-inclusive?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hbr

u/GandalfTheGay_69 4h ago
This is exactly the problem with a lot of diversity programs. They demand equal outcome instead of equal opportunity. If the applicants are mostly white then it's only logical that the workforce is mostly white. A diversity program should be about removing biases during the hiring process but since that is too hard to judge objectively they skip this whole process and go straight to just demanding diversity targets, which is ridiculous.
12
u/FlutterKree 2h ago
Have you ever asked why it's mostly <race> applicants?
The purpose of a diversity program is to actually ask those questions. To potentially remove non qualifying barriers (grants to people for training/school, etc.). They can boost diversity even if it is mostly white people applying. And without compromising on the qualifications.

If there's 100 white guys applying to be firefighters, and the department hires the 5 best ones, then they're the top 5% of their group. if there's 200 people in general applying, regardless of race/gender, and the department still hires the 5 best ones, then they're the top 2.5%.
