$50 Test!

[big_leauges]

Just applied at small Michigan FD that told me it was $50 to test, due at the date of the written. Has anyone ever seen a testing process this exspensive or am I being cheap?

$25 is the most I have come across. Which fine municipality is charging $50?

Pay 50 and don't get a job.

I've seen $30 as the most but $50 wouldn't suprise me

FDNY was $65 in 2007 if I remember correctly? Boston might have been $50 this past fall but I could be wrong.

Wow, this was not at all what i expected when i opened this up.. I thought this was some guy trying to sell testosterone for 50 bucks

Boston is now 200.00. $100 for the written and $100 for the physical. On top of that the state is broke and not putting many people on.

"Samsonite!...I was way off!" I wanted to take their last test but you have to be a Boston resident at the time of application But if I was a Boston native I would probably appreciate that.

[bbell1977]

On top of being a Boston resident you must have lived in the city/town for a year. It is pretty much a test for the whole state with the exception of a few towns in Western Mass. You pick your residency preference (The city you live in) and you get on there list. Then you have 3 other cities you can use as alternates but you go to the bottom behind all the veterans and residents on those alternate choices. It sucks.

Hazel Park is the city in MI. I don't mind paying, but I don't want to pay just to be put on a list. Most places aren't even hiring, but they still need to keep an eligibility list.

Oh so I see, yea Boston was my choice behind FDNY (as if I have all these choices of great depts to pick and choose from) but I'm not willing to move their on the chance that I could get on, and then have to live in the city the rest of my employment.
