I find it very easy to believe.. thats why they are always so angry.. their pay sucks for the risks they are taking, even the Paramedics don't make great pay around here..

Nashville is right at the national average for firefighters.

What type of salary are you expecting?

I'm not running into a burning building for 35k a year, or getting shot at.

Whatever I would change into would have to be a significant difference in what I'm making now... or could make. 5k more a year or 10k more a year isn't much motivation to do a career change + more school.

I think you're going to find it difficult to go up in salary that much without some school.

Exactly.. lol.. thats why I want to go back to school.. but not for 6 more years if I can help it. I never said I just wanted to find a job without more school. I was looking at getting a Masters.
