[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course.  A partner at my old law firm is married to a firefighter.  [/quote]

Firefighters can be pretty well educated. At our big, well regarded state school, lots of guys get building science degrees and do the general contractor/fireflighter split when they graduate. Extremely lucrative.

My best friend from college (an ivy) who has a very successful career in public administration is married to a firefighter with a masters degree in fire protection sciences.  He's a professor on his "off" days.

Point is, i don't think firefighter is particularly "blue collar".   [/quote]

Agree. I think modern firefighters and police--especially those in specialized units--in big cities are increasingly college-educated. I know some well-educated NYPD officers (many of them specialize in a certain type of crime, e.g., white collar crime) and well-educated firefighters (especially in CA, where they need people to direct response to these massive wildfires and who understand how to track these fires and manage resources).[/quote]
