Answer 1

I just looked at the FD site and if you want to stay in Houston it looks fine.

But I would say look into other cities in which you would be willing to live.  Don't forget the cost of living will affect income.

It is a great job and something into which you can put all of yourself.

Test everywhere and you will get better and practice doing interviews.  Go to the library or bookstore and look at firefighter test books, there are many.
