Should i be a Firefighter or Nurse????


I would like the excitement and unpredictability of a Firefighter career but not the Salary. I would LOVE the salary of a Nurse but i dont know if i'll get bored doing that every day......

SO PLEASE HELP ME???

Nurse

Salary comes first so
NURSE~

firefighters make good money. nurses get treated like crap.

I say pick the job thats more fun, so I guess firefighter. As long as the pay as good / reasonable, then go for it.

If you go with being a nurse but find it boring, then of course you'll end up hating your job and that'd just be a waste of your time.

So just go with something fun and that gives a fair pay.

Im already both nice mix if you ask me

believe me if you work in the hospital- there's plenty of excitement and unpredictability as a nurse. i've been one for 9yrs and i love it. granted a firefighter is out in the field and all, but, it's also dangerous. they are underpaid, but so are nurses for all the responsibility. you could do both.

Pros and Cons of Both
Nurse
Pros-Salary, Less dangerous
Cons-Less exciting, risk of feeling responsible for somebody not making it

Firefighter
Pros-Action, you get to play with fire, people are more grateful if you save them
Cons-Risk of Death

I won't tell you what to do because no mater what the outcome, you will hate the fact that you let somebody else choose for you. I have put the pros and cons that I can think of but it's up to you.

Nurse

Save your lungs, become a nurse. Make more money, become a nurse.
Become a nurse and if you don't like it change to firefighter or parametric.

I'd have to go with being a nurse. Firefighting involves a lot of paperwork.
