You called yourself a bum, not me. And last time I checked having a job is normal. But since you like be a dumb ass and challenge other people in a conversation you weren't even involved in, I shall feed you. I am a fire fighter, graduated Jacksonville Fire Academy of the South 2 years ago (look it up). I am a engineer, which means I drive the trucks and sometimes the pumper if we need the extra water. I also clean the equipment and make sure the hoses are dried and stored properly. Also am a certified emt which is required nowadays, but I don't do much medical. I got certified through FSCJ (Florida state college at jacksonville (look it up) . My income is a little over 37 grand, which isn't crazy but enough for me and my wife. If you really don't believe it the last name of my last processer is massicotte, a former fire chief from NY. He really helped me get my foot in the door, so to speak, and I found a job quickly here in Florida.
