The very fact something like that can happen defines subversion of representative government
Many are EMTs or paramedics. Nice work IF you can successfully qualify. Smokejumping may be easier.
W T F !
I am or was in the wrong line of work.
$44.75 per hour if they work 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. If they work 80 hours per week with time and a half after 40 that comes to a base rate of over $75.
