Excellent post VINMAN, I respect the hell out of you and your profession. Personally, I think there are very few jobs that require more selfless dedication to humanity. All of you, even the dumbass ones, deserve every bit of respect associated with the position.

As for pay, I can say for certain that the salary previously posted is not average. My wife's cousin is a firefighter in DFW, I think he started out at $35k or so. His brother is currently in training to join him. Neither of them are doing it for financial gain or hubris, they just want to help people.
