New Job

Well I got the call today and everything is go with the fire department. Now it wasnt my dream as a child to be a firefighter; actually most of my childhood I wanted to be in law enforcement. I even have a bacholors degree in Criminal Justice, but those who know me know I dont have the police mentality and at this point im scared of law school because of how much deeper my student loans would become. So with graduation, and the ending of my relationship with the ex i sat and thought to myself about what to do. I've always told myself I would never chase money, but instead live my life doing something meaningful that gives me a purpose. I've talked to a number of the guys who I will end up serving alongside and they all tell me the same thing, they love what they do, and the adventure and risk that goes along with it. So now im really looking forward to starting training, getting certified, and my first experiance in a blaze. I'm never going to be a rich man, but if on every drive to work i have a smile on my face then it will be more then worth it. Oh yea, and the shifts are 24 on 48 off...so i'll have lots of time to spend sailing around the S.C. and Ga coasts.
