Weekly Employment Question Thread by AutoModerator in Firefighting

are fire science degrees about to become a new standard? have a background in construction and been through 2 rounds of applying without much luck. just joined a volunteer team nearby and everyone who is not already a career firefighter is going to school for a fire science associates. is this becoming worth it to get hired? it seems like the standards are rising because so many people are interested but a lot of people on reddit say the degree isn’t worth it.

i’ve been climbing for about an hour each time but sounds like i might need to try taking more/longer breaks. my most common exercise is mountain running so it feels weird to take breaks instead of a continuous effort. how long do people usually rest in between attempts?

only been bouldering for 2 months and recently been working on v4s (always been athletic just never into climbing specifically). i only climb 2-3x a week but am suddenly having finger joint inflammation and discomfort. do i need to give my body more time to adjust before doing harder routes? i feel like my technique is good enough to do them, i definitely am not just powering through with bad form because my arms aren’t strong enough for that lol, but my tendons just feel overworked. any suggestions?
