what's up everyone. i'm 24 and i'm currently unemployed. i have my bachelor's degree but i don't have my emt or any fire science classes under my belt. I basically have no experience whatsoever that will help me get in a paid fire department, which is what i want to do. i played hs football and basketball if that helps any haha!
but my situation is a little difficult because i live in hawaii and i don't think the fd here will be testing any time soon and i don't want to wait around for the next test. do you guys have any advice for me on what the best route for someone in my position is to take? i want to get into a paid department ASAP.
should i move to california or any other state and take emt classes and try to take tests whenever they come up? i don't have a lot of money but i'm willing to move so i can be closer to the testing locations. i can't be flying to and from hawaii just to take tests.
or should i just put off the emt cert. for now and spend all of my time testing all around the nation? or should i go back to school for a fire science degree?
i don't know what to do. all i know is i wanna get in a paid department somewhere.
