Career Ideas as You Leave Fire Service

Think you're not qualified to do anything else? Think again. In your career as a firefighter or EMT, you've gained a considerable amount of transferable skills that would be considered invaluable in a different field. Take a look at some potential paths for you to consider on your career transition journey.

*May require a certification or degree

"But I don't have a degree". That's okay! While degrees are helpful in opening doors, you can still land a fantastic career with just a high school diploma or GED and work experience. Some positions only require a certification that can often be obtained at your local community college.
