In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole discuss some of the cons and costs associated with being firemen. They endeavor to answer, "Would you still sign up if you knew what you know now about the job?". While the main topic here is the difficulties our department and so many others are experiencing, we know that guys in the "civilian" world will also be able to relate to most of this. When times get tough as you work to provide for a family and build a career, what's the best path forward? What are some best practices to implement as you launch into a new career in the fire service or anywhere else? Let us know your thoughts; we'd love to hear from you!
