Okay so I found out over this past weekend that I can "join" my local FD at 16! They will pay for EMT training, Paramedic training, and Fire Fighter training. I would then have to work on the dept for at least two years which I would love! Here is my problem... I have gone head over heels for many occupations and later decieded I didn't want to do them. I am afraid this is just another dream and it will burst like all the others. Right now I don't want anything but to join, but over the long run is what scares me. I really hope this is diffrent I have 7 months until i'm 16 so I will have until then to decide but should I contact or FD now or then, or wait and think about it?
