I am a female and want to become a firefighter. Is that odd?

Do what ever you want...♥

i do no longer understand the explanation in the back of the excellence of 'woman wildland firefighter'. There are the two woman and male wildland firefighters. intercourse might desire to have no longer something to do with it. Now onto the question... i understand particular centers such using fact the police tension often have length regulations, meaning you may no longer weigh below a given volume. many times, the load regulations are decrease for women human beings than men. Why? I have not any theory. There are additionally minimum limits as to the load you may carry. in my view, if the minimum weight a woman can carry is below what a guy is predicted to hold, i could particularly have a guy rescue me from a burning venue. it is merely good judgment. yet I digress. you will possibly be able to might desire to placed on somewhat bulk. a hundred and fifteen pounds isn't all that plenty. The activity is likewise bodily annoying, yet once you're able to do it...all the flexibility to you.

If you really want to be a firefighter then start working on your upper body strength. Because you will be required to lift a full grown man up, and carry him X amount of yards. Id be a cop if I where you.

Edit: Do whatever makes you happy, if being a firefighter is what you want then let nothing stand in your way. Plenty of women are firefighters, and they do just as good if not better than their mail counterpart's. It's all up to you to decide what you want to do. I just said cop because all you really need to do is be fit enough to complete an obstacle coarse, and a small written test.

well if you want to become a cop, firefight or EMS (pays very little for the latter two ) you do NOT need to go through nursing school. that is a waste of time and money.

do you still want to be a nurse?

nothing weird about being any of those. you're helping humans in dire need. so that is GOOD FOR YOU! thanks for wanting to help

edit:

you want to go to med school? then forget nursing school for sure!. that will only take longer (and cost more) and NOTHING in nursing program will go towards any of the requirements for medical school. get a degree in biology, THEN APPLY to medical school. I imagine firefighter, EMS and police doesn't take too long so you won't invest much time if you decide that those are not for you.

You want to be a firefighter go for it.

not at all thats perfectly normal,infact i wanna become a pilot for the big white airplanes but i know thats not gonna happen :)

Not at all. Long as you got what it takes to save lives.

No, I think it's very admirable. Your sex should have nothing to do with it.

No. Do what makes you happy.

No,that's cool!
