yup but we need defense, after 911 we need to do whatever it takes to keep us safe.

Most reckless idea ever, we are the most hated country in the world and you want to cut defense by 50? just little over ten years after 911?

can't believe how many people here thinks raising taxes is our solution. These "evil" rich guys here in ny are paying 60% taxes, same in cali and jersey. Three of the worst economies in our country right there. Close loop holes and lowers taxes so you encourage businesses to invest in the u.s...

Lol I've only been on the job for 2 days and had no training before hand. So far in 2 days he tought me to use a bump key and pick to open a lock, we have taken out car door locks, trunks. Tought me to re key and take out a regluar door lock, also how to find out the codes for the cars, it's...

I just started my apprenticeship as a locksmith last week because I want to keep all my options on the table for a career. I put my emt training on postpone because of this, the locksmith training is very difficult mentally but my trainer said it should start to become second nature in a month...

I know, but there is nothing wrong with wanting to be as financially secure as possible. And trust me I would love to be with fdny because I also have interest in being firefighter.

I shouldn't say all hospitals around here because that's not true, fdny medics make a nice salary after 5 years.

Well first I should say I am starting my emt-b training right now and I hope I can get a job with that asap but I suspect I will have to get some volunteer work under my belt which I have no issue with. My question is though because I strongly want to be a medic, how long do you think I will...

I have seen online a decent amount of hospitals hiring emtb,medics,er techs. Most of them are in the city and I was surprised to see some of the salaries for just emt basics making 40k for some hospitals and medics averaging around 70. After I get all my certs though I will apply for fdny right...

I plan on taking your advice you gave me, after I get my emt-b this summer I will look for medic courses first and then look for job after to be able to work around the medic training. I'm getting my emt with north shore LIJ and possibly my emt-p with them also, although it costs 10 grand with...
