- About Me:
- Hey! My name's CJ. I was recently hired as a full time FF/Paramedic for a some-what rural department. I'm so excited for this opportunity! It still suprises me that they pay me to do something that I already love so much. I'm on a short break from my schooling until I can gather enough holiday/sick/vacation hours to take off for class. Once I'm back in, I think I'll be changing my major back to Health Promotions with a minor in Secondary Education. Teaching is definitely something I could see myself getting into at some point. Hopefully, with a little more experience under my belt I'll be able to staart teaching EMT classes. I also do part time work for another local fire department that has really helped advance me in this line of work. They taught me a lot of what I know and helped get me through paramedic school and fire academy. I owe a lot to them. They have proven to be true brothers to me and I love them like family.
If there's anything else you want to know, hit me up!

- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- I decided to join the local department's explorer program my sophomore year of high school with my best friend. I fell in love. There are so many aspects of the emergency field that appeal to me with what I want to do with my life. Getting to help people. Feeling the rush of adrenaline when tones drop. Having to think on your feet. This is definitely a life's passion for me!
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- All of it. There is no one thing.

"Five Surprising Salaries
By Anthony Balderrama, CareerBuilder.com writer
Much has been made of people who live beyond their means. When you see a neighbor bring home a fancy new car, you can't help but wonder how she can afford it on her salary. However, you can't assume you know how much she (or anybody) makes unless you've seen her tax returns.
Plenty of people earn surprising paychecks… Continue

I'm traveling to Dallas soon and I was hoping to get some hot spots for eating during my visit. I was wondering if you could give me five or so and recommend things to eat.
