Friend of mine had his sights set on this his whole life, did cadets, had to join hot shots for a bit and then slipped into a very competitive location at about 23. He's definitely fucked up from some of the traumatic things he's seen but otherwise it seems like an exciting life. He works a shit ton of overtime and claims he makes six figures, I believe that is before tax though. I don't think the current generation will get the same kind of pensions that previous public servants have received, but I have a feeling many of them will claim disability later in life, whether they actually need it or not. Overall seems pretty based if that's your thing. Beats being a regular wagecuck as long as you don't get maimed. Also I imagine it is less likely to be automated compared to some other professions that are about to get decimated.

Decently competitive, but worth it. I'm in pretty decent shape but no world class athlete. I'm in a medium sized suburb in northwest Indiana.
Theres an easy written test that any of us here could ace.
The physical test was very challenging but just workout and suck it up.
The psychological exam was retarded and relatively easy.
Just tested a few places for the hell of it and got hired within a year and a half. Very much worth it and doable. Most municipalities will pay you to attend training also

Danger is fun dude. Theres no rush like going into a fire, and pulling someone out. You train to do the proper things so the anxiety dies down with time.

Oh hey, a fellow "firefighter"! Did you know that there is a world beyond hosing pink slime out of car wrecks and packaging OD'd corpses up for transport in between polishing trucks and doing dishes at the fire house?
Become a wildland firefighter and you will actually get to see fire, a lot of it actually, maybe too much since we don't wear those bunker suit pussy coverings you guys like so much. And when you aren't basically on fire, you get to blast big fucking highways through pristine forests with a chainsaw! Or smash the shit out of literally everything with a Pulaski like the Incredible Hulk!
You'll have to ditch the slag, probably never see her anyway since you'll be in the woods 3/4 of the year. It's no big deal though, it's super easy to score sluts everywhere you go with a fucking ripped body, especially with the high pressure sales closer of "tonight and tomorrow only" when you get a few days off from being an All American Badass. Can you imagine one of your fat co-workers trying that line? Probably not, but that's what you are going to look like in a few years if you don't STEP IT THE FUCK UP SOLDIER!
Anyways, I'll see you around the fire line!

You get used to working long hours though, it's really not that bad. My crew flat out refuses to work less than 10 hours a day, is pissed off if it's less than 12. The ideal is 16 hours because if you work more than that you have to take hours away from the next day to respect the gay ass "2:1" rule where you have one hour of sleep for every two hours you worked. If we can get 14 days of 16 hours each, the overtime is soooooo much more money.
