[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It kind of comes down to how much you guide your kids career choice.  My 10 year old nephew wants to be a fire fighter and my 14 year dreams of broadway.  I tell them they can be a volunteer firefights and do community theater — that is not a career path we will support.

Nursing seems to me to be more professional, but I didn’t realize the pay didn’t match the work/responsibility. [/quote]

Whats wrong with being a professional firefighter? They have decent pay, good job stability, and usually great benefits. And I'd certainly would encourage my DD to do that than to pursue, for example, a liberal arts tenure track position. [/quote]

NP and I think the odds of getting a paid firefighting position (other than fed firefighters whose pay sucks) are very slim.  Those are very competitive positions and you've got all the volunteer firefighters who have been to all of the fire schools competing with you for those few paid positions.[/quote]
