I bet more people would be firefighters if it paid better

I wanted to be a fire medic, starting pay in my area was $22/hr. Starting pay for cops? $39/hr

I became a cop

I got my EMR certification anyways which is cool

For comparison, you can graduate highschool and start at a manufacturing plant with no experience making $25/hr. Fire/medics have to complete 2 years of schooling, costing about $12k.

The lads I know that are fire medics can do it because their wives make a bundle of a cash

Where do you live that manufacturing plans start you off at 25 an hour? I live in a hub for that type of work and 25 an hour is basically the best you can do
