Pros

A sense of belongingness, camaraderie, and the fact that what you do helps support the firefighters out in the field. Also, an opportunity to interact with new technology and enrich your understanding of social issues. Although the job I do has an average salary ceiling, I couldn't be happier with the sense of autonomy I experience.

Cons

The job I do offers a relatively average salary.
