What should I do?
I'm not sure what career path I want to take, I'm stuck between cement masonry, and going to fire school to become a firefighter. I enjoy both but I want a career I know I'll enjoy in the future as well.
What do you think? advice?

Hi Isaac,
Interesting both careers sound great. Do you happen to have any friends/relatives in the field? Maybe getting feedback from their experiences would help you determine your choices. Maybe you can do both being a Fireman and cement masonry independently. Do a self-questionnaire for yourself to help you determine more of your choice. Maybe 10 responses about why you like each career maybe you might have more answers for one than the other. Pro/Cons of each one too. What resources do you count on to get you started?
Make a visit to Fireplace, talk to people there about their daily routine looks like.
Do you want to be Cement Masonry with a company or yourself?
Which career offers more of what you are looking for.
Which one did you want to do first? what changed and why?
Which one do you see yourself doing in the future?

Hi Isaac. Well looking at the two career paths take into account what will be most beneficial long term. You want to understand what benefit each career offers. I know people in both of your fields. The firefighter is very happy with his job and it provides him great benefits that include health care and retirement.

I think your heading in the right direction. I do know one full time fire fighter. I did reach out to him this morning but haven't spoken to him yet. It's a great idea you have doing fire and forestry. That will definitely get you on your way.
