    I think an EMT is more beneficial than a fire fighter, but in some fire departments the firemen all have EMT training, so it would really depend. That's just my opinion though.

    If you had actual experience as a fire fighter I could see putting that on your resume in order to show steady work experience, however, if it is just something you've been 'itching' to do, then I don't see how that would be relevant.

    Why do it for resume experience when you can do it to give back to the community who served you growing up?

    Your 'itch' to be a firefighter would not mitigate your friend's 'shroom' experimentation when it comes to law enforcement employment.

    Was English, grammar and spelling included in those "A" grades???

    Really, now....

    You "threw" a fit, not put yourself "through" college. Ah, CJ degrees.

    Neither am I, but that doesn't excuse trash-talking about your straight A's when you can't even spell, capitalize and punctuate correctly. Excuses, excuses...

    Carry on.

    You should seriously consider sending a resume to the Fire Dept telling them you have an itch to be a police officer, and one the Police Dept telling them you have an itch to be a firefighter.

    Don't be surprised if you get a letter back suggesting you try some Gold Bond.
    This career is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

    Safety Steve says it is not safe to play with fire and guns at the same time!
