I was considering taking fire science level 1&2 , and also paramedics to start training to be a fire fighter. On thee other hand I've always loved the thought of real estate, selling and flipping houses. I have good background in construction I can do practically anything to a house, and estimate cost of labor. I just need to know which would be a better financial decision. I live in Dayton Ohio and I'm also curious on the salaries. I know firefighters job and salaries have been at stake for a while.
If you're taking a civil provider experiment and rent on as a firefighter, in so much towns of any dimension, with the intention to deliver you advantages, equivalent to retirement and well being coverage. You might continuously turn residences as a interest, for additional sales. Good success!
In the State of Ohio: Forget real estate. Real estate in the State of Ohio has bottomed out. Forget it. Do it as a hobby. Do fire science. Go down to your local Fire Department - talk to the firefighters there. I am not kidding!!!!!! This is a GREAT way to find out: how they got their positions, and/or is this something that you want to do. We need good firefighters - most of them are heroes. Good luck to you.
you are confusing issues; one is a life style, serving the community. one is entrepreneurial I would, without hesitation, take real estate and I can show you how to start NOW if you have a contractor's license. If you don't, then I advise on getting one ASAP. I can JV with you --check out my bio
elling and flipping is great way to be broke. as for salary, check pay scale your areas for firefighter etc in your area. as for realestate - they do not have salary or hourly pay. most do not last 5yrs. b smart - get a solid job, save 10,000s$ and start small. do live like starving student driving cash car. good knowledge is good luck.
