Beanz Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Dude if you really like it GO FOR IT like.The best job is not the one that pays you more but the one where you enjoy going to work everyday. Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

I just dont know one cop on our department over 160+ that are both i didnt find that ignorant at all, it was acutally a good question. but down here in Fl and most other places F.F. work 24 on and 48 off but are only allowed 3 days a week to work so i was thinking that maybe on my off days as another job i could be a cop. not sure if its possible but im still looking into all the details, i dont see why i couldnt do both. or if worse comes to worse being a firefighter you can switch shifts with people and plan out your year so maybe half the year i could be a firefighter and other half a cop?!?! like i said still doing research. if anyone has any info i am willing to take anything you have.

I've been a Firefighter/Paramedic for 15 yrs and I wouldn't do anything else. I wake up every 3rd day and am happy to go to work. As far as being triple cert (FF/Medic/Cop) there's a few depts here in texas that your on shift as all 3. It's a pretty decent paying job. I recommend the job to everyone, dude I get paid to hang out with my buddies and have fun, plus the chicks always dig fireman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxman38 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 well my only advice is my knowledge. Im almost 21 and have been working for my county for 3 years. I am in school full time and hopefully soon will be able to test on to be a sworn in officer. Its just that once u take that oath even on days off we have to call officers in to redo this or sign in evidence this way. Being called out at random times in the middle of the night to investigate a scene, take pictures, etc. What happens if your at your FF gig and they need you, what are you going to say, "no im busy at my other job ill get to it when i can?" Side jobs a couple days a week for straight days seems to be the thing to do, but in my opinion i would stick to one and go with it. You need to be 100% focused on either job because you cant afford to slack in either environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
