I'm 22, trying to get money to finish college (half way through)... I want to get a degree first before I do anything.
But after... I really don't know what I want to do. I know what I don't want to do, have a desk job, be a banker, be a lawyer, any of that sort of thing.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie and the idea of rushing into burning buildings every day appeals to me a lot. The fact that I get to help save people's lives is also extremely appealing. The deep bonds that I presumably would develop with my crewmates would also be awesome.
Now the reason I started thinking about this career path (before I really didn't have any in mind at all)... was after I started watching the show "Rescue Me". You guys have probably heard of it at least. But anyways it's about a group of firefighters in NYC. It's not really just a "drama" because it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. But it's also filled with sadness, and the scenes of them rushing through burning buildings just caught my attention. I can't think of another job that allows you to experience extreme danger and help people so much at the same time.
But of course, it's a TV SHOW, so what I want to know from you guys is...... how much of that is dramatized? How much is it "just hollywood"? Keep in mind if I took this career path I would DEFINITELY want to do it in a huge city like NYC or SF or LA... I'm not planning on being a firefighter (if I choose that route) in a small town.
thanks!
