And how much experience do you have?
Either way that wasn't the point, the point is that I didn't understand the logic, I wasn't getting on her, I asked a few questions and made a statement. Oh, I think your caps lock is semi-broken as well
For the record I happen to know quite a few firefighters (more than 1 or 2). I also happen to know a few police officers. There is a case study out there somewhere (hopefully I will find it because I can back up my claims even though I am a busy person). discussing this very topic. For the most part, people that go into the field of firefighting of police work do it because it was derived from a dream. Maybe it was during childhood or maybe it was expressed later on in life but the "overall concept" of the dream was to just become a firefighter or police officer.
I also say this because it is very hard for a lot of ppl to find work as a firefighter or police officer and a lot of the time there isn't much room to pick and choose - goes along with the dream "of becoming so and so."
She said herself it was a blessing in disguise and indeed it was.
He gets paid more to risk his life less.
I am sure she sleeps easier now than she might have, had he become a Dallas firefighter, where it seems they battle far more fires in that sector as to where he is employed now.
