I found an article in a website titled www.unemployementality.com. It was regarding applicants for Firefighter positions with the city of San Francisco. The article claimed that there were 1200 applicants for 200 jobs that started out at $68,0000 per year. Not bad odds for a job that pays that well. Most likely the average applicant has a high school diploma and an EMT.

I was a county firefighter for a while a long time ago and wish that I had stayed.
