How can I decide between becoming a firefighter, a paramedic, or a police officer?

Question

Ive been trying to decide what i wanna do for a career after high school for a while and i have finally narrowed it down to either a paramedic, firefighter, or a police officer. Ive looked into each but still cannot decide... what is a good way to decide? I live in Canada.

Answer 1

well let mev help you firefighters make c**p money

police men make c**p money

paramedic is your best beyt if you want to live A NICE LIFE and not struggle to pay the bills and eat good.

Answer 2

I'm not sure about Canada, but here in the states you can join the Junior Firefighters or the Junior Police Academy.

I would go to your local fire department and police station and see if they have a program like ours here. Then I would spend a year or a summer doing both of them and see which one you like better.

I think it's a great career path to dedicate your life to helping others, good for you!

Answer 3

Well, let me narrow it down a little bit. If you want to become a firefighter, you are going to need to have emergency medical training. In the states, most departments are requiring a medic license, some still hire at EMT and volunteer departments still hire at MFR. Therefore, if you want to become a firefighter, you will need to get some EMS training. In doing that, you may decide that you want to beocme a medic instead.

Firefighrer and medic go hand in hand. Being one will be very helpful, if not neccesary if you want to be the other.

The only perk of being a police officer would be a higher pay scale, as far as I know.

I'm joking. I dont' know much about being a police officer since I never aspired to be one.

Good luck with your decision.
