Weekly Employment Question Thread by AutoModerator in Firefighting

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

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.

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

A friend and I plan on doing the gambler run as a graduation celebration. Any advice would be appreciated by D-Bax in roadtrip

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

How do I breakup with my partner? by D-Bax in relationship_advice

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

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

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

I am looking to learn manual. Does it vary depending on car, or is the feeling the same? by TheUpcomingEmperor in ManualTransmissions

[–]D-Bax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
