My goal is to become a firefighter as quickly as possible after I graduate but I'm unsure as to what the best way to accomplish that is. Right now my options are:
-Going to a 4 year college and getting a degree in Spanish. While in college I would be a medic the in army reserve.
-Going straight into the military. I originally though I would be a firefighter in the Air Force but due to the recruiting environment that's not likely. If I join the military it will most likely be as a 68W Medic in the Army.
-Another route I could take is try to go for Air Force Pararescue. I believe I have what it takes to become a Pararescueman but how much of an advantage would it be for me to be a former Pararescueman during the hiring process? They become paramedic certified and are considered special forces so I imagine it would give me an advantage in the hiring process comparable to a college degree.
-I could go to a fire academy straight out of high school but I'm not sure how long it would take me to get hired after graduation.
I'm not sure which way would put me on the quickest path to getting hired.
