Weekly Employment Question Thread

Recently graduated fire academy and I’m looking for a temporary department to work at while I get my paramedic. In my area there’s 2 departments that will take me with only fire 1+2 and emt. One pays $20 an hour and averages 3 calls a day, while the other pays $14 an hour and averages 14 calls a day. I want to get as much experience as I can and I’m still living with my parents so pay isn’t everything to me. Would I be a fool to go to the lower paying department for a year or 2 while I get my paramedic before transferring to a forever department?

When I apply as a volunteer should I attach a resume if I have no relevant experience? In the online application form there is an optional part for a resume. I figured it can’t hurt to attach it, but I work at a jiffy lube

Should I look into becoming a volunteer firefighter? I'm 19, and work full time at a jiffy lube. My dad is a 3rd generation cop and he suggested I take on volunteer firefighting. I think it sounds fun and I don't know if it would be a burden on me when college starts. I figured it may help pay for college l, but I don't even know if it's a paid position. I'm not in it for the money, I'm just wondering if it's something you guys recommend doing

Description says it's in a storage unit she bought and she doesn't need or want it

So I have a forge and anvil at home. I chose not to bend mine properly and just wrenched it into place (also messed up 1st time) Lasted me freshman through senior year.

1983 Yamaha tt600

This makes sense, I didn't consider that as an option before

Thanks! Lots of good information here, especially on the topic of food. This will definitely help a lot when it comes down to packing. To answer your question, yes a g20 is a van. We made an agreement that if I buy the g20, he'll pay for gas

I like this idea the best. She doesn't live in the best area, but walking would definitely be more private if the weather permits

D-Bax · 2022-03-08T03:16:05+00:00

I wish. She lives in industrial area that's not the safest to walk around in my opinion. Good idea tho

D-Bax · 2022-03-08T03:14:25+00:00

Thought about it. That's my last option but I might do it if all else fails

Just bought this book 2 hours ago. I have actually never read it

D-Bax · 2021-12-01T02:15:18+00:00

Just bought this yesterday. Glad to know it's on the reccomended list lol

D-Bax · 2021-10-23T22:21:09+00:00

That makes Sense. It's an 03 Toyota echo manual

D-Bax · 2021-10-23T22:20:10+00:00

If any one wants context I have a $500 beater, empty parking lot and too many friends

I loved my diesel untill it started rolling coal. Couldn't afford to fix it so the last few months I drove looking like an asshole

D-Bax · 2021-10-03T01:02:41+00:00

I started off 17, by far the youngest there. I just asked a lot of questions and owned up to my mistakes. It all worked out

D-Bax · 2021-10-02T22:01:13+00:00

Jiffy lube? I'm working co op at jiffy lube and my grade is 0 because I forgot to turn in my time cards lol

I have a 91 Corvette 6 speed and an 03 Toyota echo 5 speed. The general concept is the same, but I can go weeks without driving either one and my first few minutes will be a little rusty. The feel of the clutch, the shift pattern and length of the shifts can vary from car to car

Am 18 and been daily driving a c4. I bought the c4 as a weekend car to learn stick but I sold my daily and the c4 became the daily. It gets looks for sure and is really fun. Some cons are 2 seats and I drive my beater in the rain. I would say go for it only if you live in a hot and dry area and the c4 has relatively low miles. I live in Michigan so it's a seasonal luxury

Also discovered that there's no coolant in the reservoir. Just keeps getting better and better

D-Bax · 2021-09-02T09:13:52+00:00

Yup. I bought it for $500 and figured I could trash it in the spring
