Has anyone been able to get work? I’m honestly thinking of switching to become a fireman. Film/tv/broadcasting has been too inconsistent and every time I apply I hear the same thing “someone internally was getting the position or they have someone lined up”

A career as a fireman, especially if you have or are open to getting a college degree later in related field for upward mobility will likely be way more rewarding, stable and lucrative long term.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role?

Any advice would be appreciated!
