Don't forget that they usually do not have to pay for any training or education beyond getting an EMT. They get a nice retirement deal and they also enjoy only working 9 24 hour ****s a month. Wages usually reflect how hard they have to work and at a starting wage of 32K it sounds like they most likely sleep through the night when on duty.

Not a bad gig at all.

I stumbled into a county firefighting job over ten years ago. At the time starting wages were only 1600 per month. My heart wasn't into it so when a flying job came along I left. It was a huge mistake.
