Is it ok to say fire and police are over paid?

Athletes aren't overpaid.

Have you taken the civil exam? Do you live in Boston or a surrounding town or city? Being white has nothing to do with it. It's all about your civil exam score and if the towns you put down are hiring which in MA they currently are.

Wait, so pro athletes dont have unions now?

Oh, and are you saying fire departments do not need talented managment to run effectively?

honestly? dept chiefs in large cities do a fuck ton of work.

chicago's fire dept is a top notch dept with many cutting edge ideas to provide a better service. many of those come from the dept chief level.

I live in eastie and I haven't taken the civil service.

Would easily score perfect on it, imo.

I am curious as to what they look like. Are there practice tests online for each area?

I was. My national and state registries lapsed about 4 years ago.

The department I worked for didn't do their own EMS service, so we would respond in a pumper and hold the scene for about 5 minutes until city EMS showed up.

As a result, they didn't pay extra if you were a medic.
