In the United States, their job growth is predicted to be about 5% through the year 2024. One of the reasons for them to not have an increase in available positions is because buildings have been made fire resistant and there is more knowledge of how to prevent fires.<\/p>\n Becoming a firefighter is a competitive process. One of the reasons for this is because the only educational requirement is a high school diploma. Firefighters who also have paramedic training will be marketable candidates. Those who work with forest fires or wildfires may see an increase in their field due to changing weather conditions.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/h2>\nFirefighters have a valuable job and get to work as part of a team to save lives and preserve building loss. They receive a good salary for the amount of education needed to become a firefighter. A firefighter career may be right for you if you enjoy helping people and have a commitment to public service. Or, you can look into a private investigator salary and aid making the world a better place in a different away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A firefighter career is a noble and rewarding profession.
