guess I took the easy way out, oh well, guess it was a good thing for me! I didn't figure out that I wanted to be a fire fighter until it was 5-6 years after I graduated high school, and by then, it was a field that didn't even require a degree. all I need is a class 3 license, high level of first aid, and construction experience. scuba diving, rock climbing, and basically any other outdoor sport helps you out as well though. im still trying to get on to the fire dept as im still young (mid 20s), but I sure have saved myself some money instead of taking random classes that I would never put to use.
those people that don't go far in life like the ones you said, are the ones ive found who live the happiest easy going stress free lives possible. lot of my friends work longshore/fire dept/construction/city workers. we show up, stay for 8 hours, we leave, and we don't think about work until the next day. but, to each their own, some will say that's a horrible way to live life.
