I wanted to know if anyone could help me figure out what i should do. I am a junior in high school and i want to become a paid firefighter because I love the fire service. i am currently a fire explorer and i plan on joining my department as a volunteer firefighter at 18 (department is paid and volunteer) my parents insist that what ever i do i must go to college and i don't know what type of degree to get and wanted to know what degrees do most firefighters have and if you guys have any other suggestions for what i should do to help me along in becoming a firefighter later on in life.
Hey i want to be the same thing
Only what i am doing is going to take fire protection technology a 2 year degree
Then go take my EMT cource or degree
Then im going to go back to school or take an online cource and get something small like business just incase i happen to get laid off or money is tight i have something to rely on.
Just a sugestion for ya.
