There are two extremely different professions that i plan to go into directly out of college. The first one whichi wil discuss is Fire Fighting. I have found by research that firefighting has 97 percent rate in which people keep their jobs after finding one. In the times we are going through now that is incredible. This means If i get into this profession I have a slim to none chance of losing my job. If I graduate with a degree then some fire schools will pay for my education and also I will be able to start at a higher salary and position.
I talked to my dad's good friend named Mike Wallis who is the cheif of a fire department in florida. He said that it is fairly easy to find a job once graduating and that he has never had to fire a fire fighter. He says that they get the best medical care and attention also. He also said if i get into that career then as long as i dont do anything illegal or incredibly stupid then there isnt much of a chance of getting layed off.
The only worry about the job is the possibility of injury or death. A benefit of firefighting is that if you get injured on the job then they will support you and your family a great deal. There arent really ways to ensure success while at USF except staying in shape, and staying healthy. Another plus about firefighting is that you have time to get another part time job which i also plan to do.
